 Afzelia

Afzelia is a genus in the subfamily Caesalpinioideae of the family Fabaceae (legumes). The thirteen species all are trees, native to tropical Africa or Asia. Our Afzelia is from Laos.

One of the common names is also “pod mahogany”, adding to the confusion surrounding the name mahogany.

The highly-figured wood of the Asian species, Afzelia xylocarpa, is sold as Afzelia xylay.

This is a hard, dense exotic wood that ranges from light orange to dark orange/red. Similar to Ambonya.

We stock this in sizes ranging from Pen Blanks, to Coffee Table Slabs to 4/4 Lumber.
