Selection of Bibolo African Walnut, also known as African Walnut

Origin of Bibolo African Walnut:

Bibolo African walnut wood originates from the tree Lovoa trichilioides, native to tropical regions of West and Central Africa. Renowned for its durability and workability, Bibolo has been traditionally used in furniture, cabinetry, and decorative applications. Its rich, warm hues and interlocking grain patterns make it a sought-after material for both functional and artistic woodworking projects.

Our Bibolo African walnut pieces are carefully selected and kiln-dried to ensure stability and minimize warping or cracking. These pieces are perfect for crafting furniture, veneers, and specialty items. With its elegant appearance, Bibolo African walnut is a versatile choice that works well with stains and finishes, highlighting its natural beauty and enhancing its unique character. Its combination of durability and aesthetic appeal makes it ideal for creating long-lasting, visually stunning pieces.

Color of Bibolo African Walnut:

Bibolo African walnut is known for its heartwood, which ranges from light to dark brown, often with a golden or reddish hue. The grain is usually interlocked or irregular, creating unique patterns that add to its visual appeal. The sapwood is paler, providing a striking contrast to the darker heartwood. This rich and varied coloring makes Bibolo a popular choice for decorative and fine woodworking applications.

Janka Hardness:

1,010 lbf (4,490 N)

Decay and Weather Resistance:

Bibolo African walnut is rated as moderately durable in terms of decay resistance and has good resistance to insect attack. It is suitable for interior applications and some exterior uses with appropriate treatment and sealing.
