Aniegre is a golden/white-colored exotic hardwood from equatorial West Africa. In addition to being a favorite for cabinet shops worldwide, it is excellent for high-end jewelry boxes, musical instruments, tables and other fine articles. Despite log prices doubling in the past 2-1/2 years, Aniegre is still a bargain for a figured exotic. It is easy to mill, dry, and glue. When finished, the wood resembles pale straw with a slight golden tone. Trees are typically 2-3 feet in diameter with 40-55' clean trunks before limbs. The highest grade logs are sliced for decorative veneers.
