Ovangonkol, Guibourtia ehie A.K.A. Mozambique

Varying shades of yellowish to reddish brown body with darker brown, gray, or black stripes. Sapwood is a pale yellow. Commonly seen with a curly or rippled grain pattern.
Uses - Overall a fairly easy wood to work, though Ovangkol contains silica and can therefore dull cutters prematurely. Also, if the grain is interlocked, or if there is other figure present in the wood, planing and other machining operations may be troublesome and cause tearout. Turns, glues and finishes well.
