About Korina (Terminalia superba)
Coming from West Africa, Korina's colors range from honey gold to cream with minimal grainlines. When stained, the golden color and grain simply glows. The wood machines like a dream, and has very small pores. Some builders choose to fill the pores to add some additional visual appeal.
