CHENCHEN

Antiaris spp.


as nearly as I can tell, this wood is generally sold in the U.S. under the name "chen", not chenchen

my samples:


a fairly bland example of chenchen veneer


a much more lively sample


too much bright yellow in this pic

web pics


planks


plank listed as ako


planks listed as bokonko / A. toxicaria

veneer


veneer --- these are from a vendor whose pics make many woods look green, regardless of the actual color of the wood.
