Working and finishing Bubinga
Dense and heavy with a moderate blunting effect on tools; interlocked or figured (waterfall/pommele) grain can tear out, so light passes and sharp cutters are worth it on figured stock.
Takes a high natural polish; oil or film finishes both work well and show off figure. Occasionally causes skin sensitivity in some woodworkers, so gloves are sensible when sanding.
Sold as is. Grain, colour and figure vary from piece to piece. Confirm the dimensions your build needs before you buy.
