Description

Bilinga wood, scientifically known as Nauclea diderrichii, is a rare and valuable hardwood from Africa belonging to the Rubiaceae family. Bilinga wood typically features a rich reddish-brown hue with darker streaks, adding to its aesthetic appeal. It has a straight grain pattern with a fine to medium texture, contributing to its ease of working and finishing.

In terms of physical properties, bilinga wood boasts impressive density, with an average specific gravity ranging from 0.85 to 1.05. This density lends the wood excellent stability and resistance to decay, making it suitable for outdoor use, including decking, boat building, and heavy construction. Bilinga wood does not have a characteristic smell or taste, and the alkaloids in the wood can be toxic to carpenters when working with it. Beyond its durability, Bilinga wood is prized for its workability. It responds well to machining and finishing, allowing craftsmen to achieve precise cuts and smooth surfaces. Moreover, Bilinga wood exhibits favorable stability properties, with minimal movement in response to changes in moisture and temperature. This stability makes it a dependable option for interior and exterior applications alike, ensuring that structures built with Bilinga remain intact and aesthetically pleasing over time.
