Movingui
Movingui is an evergreen deciduous tree native to West Africa that grows to a height of up to 40 m and, like many tropical trees, mainly produces straight trunks with no branches.
The wood is quite dense, medium weight (0.75-0.85 g/cm3) and has a fine structure. Its lemon yellow to greenish yellow-yellow brown color, striking luster, and tendency to form streaks give the veneer a decorative character.It is used as knife-cut and rotary-cut veneer. It is usually knife-cut as face veneer and rotary-cut as veneer for veneer boards, furniture, interior design, and much more. It has good weather resistance.
Sharp, hard tools are required for processing, as the wood contains silica deposits that cause tools to become blunt. However, caution is advised with strongly twisted trunks. Drying must be carried out very slowly and gently, as the wood is prone to cracking.
