Movingui (Distemonanthus benthamianus), commonly known as Nigerian Satinwood, has a yellow to orangish brown appearance, and frequently exhibits figured grain patterns such as mottle or curl. The color tends to darken with age and when exposed to UV light. The grain can be straight to interlocked to wavy, with a fine and even texture and a good natural luster. Movingui is generally easy to work, though this species can have up to 1.3% silica by weight, which may result in moderate blunting effects. This wood glues, stains and finishes well.

• Wood is a product of nature, and as such, no two pieces are alike to start with. The same wood growing in different locales can vary greatly, even though it is the exact same species.
• Due to the nature of wood movement, shrinkage and expansion are possible. Please measure each piece carefully before starting any project.
• Each piece is cut from quality, kiln-dried stock. The grain runs with the longest dimension.
• Thin stock is sawn to +/- 1/8" of the listed size.
