Discover Abachi, a light wood also known as Ayous, which possesses a subtle yellow tint with a specific aroma. The heartwood, which starts as whitish to cream-yellow and turns golden yellow under the influence of light, shows no clear boundaries with the sapwood. The grain varies from medium to coarse. Its good thermal conductivity and low weight make Abachi extremely suitable for various applications. These include sauna construction, the manufacture of interior furniture parts, wall and ceiling paneling, and the creation of models in metal foundries. The weight advantage is also utilized in yacht building. Abachi is known for its ease of workability with both hand and machine tools, where sharp cutting edges ensure a smooth finish. This wood is a versatile choice for projects where lightness and ease of processing are paramount, without requiring extreme durability or strength. You will therefore find Abachi in furniture interiors, wall and ceiling coverings, model making, organs and pianos, car bodies, caravans, plywood, furniture boards, frames, doors, broomsticks, and comfortable sauna benches.
