Abura (also known as Bahia) is a popular species of tropical timber from Africa, highly valued for its uniform texture and excellent performance during processing. With its soft brown-grey or cream color, it is a reliable and cost-effective choice for applications requiring clean lines and smooth finishes.
Technical Characteristics & Mechanical Strengths
Abura offers an excellent balance between weight and strength, making it very user-friendly in the production process:
Average Weight: 600 kg/m³
Bending Strength: 78 MPa
Crushing Strength: 46 MPa
Stability & Shrinkage: It is distinguished by its very good volumetric stability (4.4%), with a Radial shrinkage of 4.3% and a T/R index of 2.1.

Uses & Applications
The homogeneity of Abura makes it a favorite material for a multitude of interior constructions:
Interior Architectural Applications: Ideal for interior cladding, moldings, and decorative elements that require precision.
Furniture Making: Used in the construction of furniture, especially for parts intended to be painted or lacquered, as it offers a perfectly smooth surface.
Wood Constructions: Suitable for light woodworking and interior partitions.
Wooden Crates: Due to its good strength-to-weight ratio, it is often used in the construction of high-quality packaging crates.
