Bosse is an exotic species native to the tropical rainforests of West and Central Africa.
A great alternative for Spanish Cedar, this medium-density timber features a fine texture
with a heartwood that starts as a pale pinkish-brown and naturally matures into a deep,
golden-brown hue. It is appreciated by woodworkers for its excellent natural durability.
Because it frequently exhibits stunning, highly figured grain patterns like wavy or pommele
mottling, it is extensively utilized for luxury furniture, high-end cabinetry, and decorative
veneers as well as light carpentry, moulding, and paneling.
