Species Description
Indigenous to the tropical regions of West African, Central and East Africa, Anigre has been used primarily as an interior wood; it is decidedly non-durable, and thus not recoomended for outdoor applications. The wood’s aesthetics can vary greatly, as Anigre is comprised of three seperate Pouteria-genus species. Its colors can range from pale yellowish to orangish-brown wood, to a pale pinkish-brown — sometimes with additional highlight coloration. Anigre typically darkens to a golden-to reddish brown over time, with repeated UV ray exposure. Buy Wholesale Aniegre Lumber from African Forest Timber Ltd
Examples can be quite beautiful — and sometimes stunning, with curly and mottled figuring being not uncommon. Its hues tend to be generally pastel in nature, so it makes a very complimentary, aesthetically unimposing wood for a variety of interior applications. Grains are typically straight but can occasionally be interlocked. Its texture is medium and it has a nice natural luster. Buy Wholesale Aniegre Lumber from African Forest Timber Ltd.
