This species grows in Western Africa.  It ranges in color from a lighter brown to deep, almost chocolate with darker veins running through it.

Logs are typically quarter sliced to accentuate any figural qualities that may be within the log.  And the figure can range from a very light to very heavy appearance.  Most of the time, the figure is not a consistent variable, it’s typically what we’d call more broken – though still very attractive.

This particular example shows a very mild, almost nonexistent figure.
