An indispensible resource for timber importers, architects, interior designers, and woodworkers, this guide to the woods of Africa contains details that have traditionally been difficult to obtain. Each entry contains the common trade name of the wood, its botanical name, the family name, and other local and vernacular names. Also listed are the geographical range of the tree, a physical description, and the best applications of the wood. Each entry is accompanied by a color photograph of the wood, as well as a table giving various physical properties, such as shrinkage, weight, bending strength, and compression strength.
