Obeche
Triplociton scleroxylon

Density: 390kg/m3

Description: The Timber is creamy white to pale yellow in colour with little or no distinction between sapwood or heartwood. It is fairly soft, light in weight, but firm and fine and even in texture, the grain is often interlocked.
Working Properties: The comparative softness of the wood make it very easy to work with both hand and machine tools. An excellent finish is obtainable and the wood stains and polishes well, and has good gluing properties.
Physical Properties: The wood dries well with little tendency to warp or shake.
Durability: Non Durable.
Main Uses: Interior joinery, drawer linings and furniture.
