Product Description

Black Limba (Terminalia superba)—often called Korina—is an exotic hardwood prized for its striking contrast and bold natural character. The wood ranges from pale yellow to light tan, dramatically accented by dark brown to nearly black streaks and figuring that make every piece unique. Black Limba turns and machines well with sharp tools, producing smooth cuts and clean detail. Its grain can vary from straight to moderately interlocked, offering visual interest while remaining workable on the lathe. When properly dried, it provides good stability and finishes beautifully, especially with clear finishes that highlight the contrast between light and dark areas. Common uses include turning blanks, bowls, spindles, decorative turnings, furniture accents, and instrument components.

Special Note:

Occasional pinhead-sized insect holes are common in this wood, and are not considered a defect.

Customer Reviews

Wood

I’ve purchased a lot of wood from Got Wood, all kiln dried, always waxed, always excellent wood, always here on time. I get it, I turn it, I sell it. Outstanding wood, outstanding service.

Black Limba is beautiful. I bought two of these and made cake platters for each of my daughters.

Received the Bowl blank

Purchased as a Christmas gift. Received on time and satisfied with the purchase.

What a wonderful wood

I’ve turned several bowls and platters from Black Limba. When I saw that 12x2 blanks were available I had to have one to make a platter.
Black Limba is not only easy to work with, but also beautiful.
I turn an 11 3/4x1 5/8 platter from the blank, that will be used as a serving platter for Christmas.
