Matumi

Matumi wood, also known as the 'Woodworkers Friend'. The moderately dense Wood is hard, fine-grained, durable and termite resistant. Cut wood has an oily smell and is resistant to termites. The wood is heavy with beautiful yellow to light brown colours, and has black or flame-like markings, which lends itself to the making of fine furniture. Excellent for outdoor furniture, such as benches, but also for side tables and trays. The wood is very strong and has been used to make beams. Up until the 1960s, the wood was commonly used as railway sleepers, and some are still found today.
