AVODIRE - (Turraeanthus africanus) is found in Western and Central regions of Africa near lakes and streams and grows to 80-115 feet tall and 2-3feet diameter.
Heartwood is a pale yellow or cream, darkening with age to golden yellow. Heartwood and sapwood are usually indistinguishable. Avodire can exhibit a range of grain patterns, such as wavy, mottled, and rippled, with an almost-shimmering chatoyance, making it a popular choice for veneering.
Common uses are veneer, cabinetry, furniture, millwork, and plywood.
