African Bubinga is highly favoured among woodturners for its rich reddish-brown colour and distinctive grain patterns. Its density and hardness make it durable and resistant to wear, ideal for items like bowls and utensils that undergo frequent handling. When turned on a lathe, bubinga typically produces clean cuts and a smooth finish, though its density requires sharp tools and careful technique to avoid tear-out. The wood takes well to a variety of finishes, enhancing its natural luster and deepening its colour. Bubinga's unique scent when cut adds to its appeal, though sourcing sustainable options can sometimes be a consideration due to its exotic origin. Overall, bubinga is prized for both its aesthetic qualities and performance characteristics in woodturning projects.
