Anigre African Wood Veneer Information

Wow, what can be said about Anigre, accept, how many spellings can one wood actually Have? Anegre is found primarily in Cameroon but also in Angola, Congo, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea Bissau, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Uganda and Zaire. Exportation from Cameroon is actually prohibited by local laws. This wood has been very popular for quite some time and extremely popular at various times. The most popular colors being the lighter to mid straw tones it will exibit. Anegre does have the ability to be very red and can develop blue spots at times during the drying process. Any one that has worked with Anegre knows what it can do to blades of all types, it makes them dull quickly. Timber production is in low quantities but exports are regular so even though inventorys are not as vast as they were a few years back, the wood is still available. I would look for the harvesting of this wood to become more restrictive and harder to get. It is such a good decorative species due to its pleasant neutral tone and its ability to Block Mottle, Fiddleback, Bees Wing and have very straight quarter grain to boot! We typically always have figured, plain sliced and plain quarters in our inventory.
