BADI

Nauclea diderrichii
Nauclea diderrichii of the family Saxifragaceae

my samples --- colors are accurate with caveats as stated


small plank and end grain --- color is extremely accurate; the end grain shot clearly shows the diffuse porous nature of the wood and the lack of distinct growth rings

end grain a close-closeup to show grainyness --- the closeup color is too green


a couple of turning sticks and a closeup --- actual wood is just a shade darker than these pics, but not as dark as the sample at the top of the page.


end grain closeup from one of the sticks directly above --- color is a little too green
