Makore / African Cherry Characteristics

Usually a fine, straight grain wood, but some logs will have an interlocked grain that produces an attractive mottled figure. The wood glues well but is difficult to work, as the timber contains silica which rapidly dulls the tools.

Color Range

Reddish-brown to maroon

Other Names

Aganokwe, Baku, Makore

Some Typical Uses

Furniture, cabinets, interior millwork, exterior aplications, high end furniture, art pieces, veneer, interior panels, airplane cabinetry.

A very large tree. May reach a height of 180-200 feet with trunk diameters often over 48'' and sometimes up to 120''. Boles are straight, cylindrical and may be free of branches for 100 feet.
