Wawa Wood
Wawa is one of Africa leading export timbers. Though it occurs widely, it is particularly common, comes from a very large tree, 50m or more in height. Timber is whitish to pale straw with no difference between heartwood and sapwood. Texture medium to coarse; grain typically interlocked, giving a striped figure. Wawa is considered lightweight which makes it perfect for small projects Wawa wood has an unpleasant smell when green but usually does not persist after drying.
