Our Timber Range
Mbembakofi / Mkora — Afzelia quanzensis
Sapwood is distinct, white. Heartwood pink-brown or brown-yellow, turning reddish-brown on exposure. Texture medium to coarse and even. Grain straight or interlocked. Handsome appearance but with little figure.
Muninga / Kiaat / Mukwa — Pterocarpus angolensis
Sapwood is distinct, while greyish, 25-50 mm width. Heartwood is highly variable in color varying from pale uniform brown to purple-brown. Figure variable being plain, mottled or striped. Grain is generally straight but occasionally interlocked. Texture medium to coarse.
Tectona grandis
Sapwood is distinct, pale yellow-white, 25–40 mm width. Heartwood is golden to dark brown, darkening on exposure to a rich honey or walnut-brown. Figure is generally plain, occasionally with an attractive wavy grain pattern. Grain is straight to slightly wavy, sometimes interlocked. Texture uneven and coarse. Wood is oily to the touch due to natural resins and oils present throughout.
Milletia stuhlmannii
Sapwood yellowish white, 25-50 mm width. Heartwood dark brown with alternate bands of dark and lighter colored tissue. Medium texture and straight grain. Striking figure on tangential surface. Generally similar in appearance and properties to wenge (Milletia laurentii).
Iroko — Chlorophora excelsa
Sapwood clearly defined, yellow-white of 25-100mm width depending on the age of the tree. Heartwood light yellow, rich brown or greenish-brown, darkening on exposure. Texture medium to coarse, grain typically interlocked, figure mottled. Wood is slightly greasy with no odor.
Medium Density Fiberboard
A smooth, uniform wood-fibre panel ideal for painting, laminating, and precision machining. Consistent density throughout makes it perfect for cabinet making, furniture, and interior joinery.
Melamine Faced Chipboard
A pre-finished chipboard with a durable melamine surface. Moisture, heat, and scratch resistant — arrives ready to use with no painting or polishing required. Widely used for kitchens, wardrobes, and office furniture.
Furniture-Grade Plywood
Cross-laminated veneers bonded for exceptional strength and stability. Void-free edges accept stains and edge banding cleanly, making it ideal for furniture framing, shelving, and built-in units under heavy loads.
Cupressus lusitanica
Sapwood usually paler than heartwood which is pink-brown or straw-colored. The texture is fine and even and the grain is usually straight. Knots are usually smaller and more evenly distributed than in pine.
Podocarpus gracilior / Podocarpus milanjianus
There is no distinct boundary between heartwood and sapwood. The wood is uniformly light yellow to pale yellowish-brown, fading to a warm amber upon exposure. The texture is fine and exceptionally even, with a straight grain and little to no distinct figure or pattern. It is virtually featureless and completely free of resin ducts.
