Description
Heartwood from dabema is pale yellowish or reddish brown. Contrasting sapwood ranges in colour from light grey to pale yellow and can be up to six inches (15 cm) wide. Usually, grains are entangled. with an average natural sheen and a consistent coarse texture. With a moderate resistance to termites, insects and borers, it is rated as being reasonably durable. Other names for it include African greenheart. Both hand and machine tools can be used with ease when working with it, but the wood has the propensity to blunt cutting blades.
