Terminalia ivorensis (Botanical name) Common name: Framiré · Origin: West Africa Characteristics of the Framiré Framiré is a light-colored, stable wood highly valued for its workability, uniformity, and lightness. Its color ranges from straw yellow to yellowish-brown , with the sapwood barely distinguishable from the heartwood. The grain is usually straight, although it may occasionally exhibit slight interlocking, while the texture is medium-sized, providing a uniform and attractive surface finish. It has a density of approximately 520–560 kg/m³ and exhibits good dimensional stability. The sapwood is impregnable, while the heartwood is moderately impregnable. We offer Framiré in planks, with excellent widths, well above the average offered on the market.
