Stunning and Unique Aesthetics: Highly prized for its rich colour palette, which ranges from golden honey and caramel to deep reddish-browns, often featuring beautiful, decorative figuring and a lustrous grain.

Exceptional Workability: Despite being a hardwood, it is renowned for being relatively easy to work with using both hand and machine tools, making it a favourite for fine furniture makers and craftspeople.

Superior Finishing Qualities: Takes stains, oils, and polishes exceptionally well, resulting in a deep, luxurious, and high-end finish that enhances its natural beauty.

Distinctive Figured Varieties: Often available in highly sought-after figured grades, such as fiddleback, tiger stripe, and quilted patterns, which are used for exclusive, one-of-a-kind pieces.
