Abachi? Explanation: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=Abachi Burma&btnG=Se... 不过根据国外网站的介绍，Abachi 应产于非洲，不过木材行业名称混乱的问题很普遍，出现张冠李戴的情况也不足为奇。 http://assets.panda.org/downloads/tropical_wood_images.pdf Trade Name Bot.

Obeche (proncounced "oh-beachy", botanical name: Triplochiton scleroxylon. Also known as Abachi, Obiche, Obechi, Samba, Ayous, Arere or Wawa) is a hardwood found in Africa mainly in the countries of Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria and Cameroon. The tree grows to over 50m high and 1.5m in diameter at the base of the trunk. Obeche is a light weight wood with a pleasant appearance of pale yellow color, with a natural lustre that gives a silky finish. Obeche can be dried quickly undergoing little degradation and, once dry, is very stable. Due to its light weight, it is not strong; it is easy to saw and to work, acquiring a good finish if the tools used are sufficiently sharpened. It is necessary to take special care when cutting across the end grain since this has tendency to crumble.

ForestWeb has a good data sheet of information from the US Department of Agriculture Forest Service. Here's the only picture we could find of the tree in its natural tropical location. Other uses for Obeche that we've come across: Sauna fittings Coffins Hat blocks Picture frame mouldings Knife handles Rifle stocks African drums |
