Bubinga, Guibourtia demeusei
Bubinga, while sometimes known as African Rosewood, is not a dalbergia. It's been commonly used on instruments for decades and is known for it's beauty and extreme color and figure variations.

Bubinga ranges in color from a pinkish red to burgundy or brown with purple or black streaks. Sapwood is often sandy colored and in stark contrast with the heartwood.

Due to it's mass and hardness, bubinga is tonally closer to ebony than true rosewoods. It produces, clear strong mids and sparkling highs with a well balanced low end. It cuts, planes and glues up well, but care must be taken on highly figured sets.

Bubinga can be challenging to bend, and we recommend bending at slightly thinner dimensions, higher temperatures and commercial glycol based veneer "softeners" will aid in the bending process.
