African Satinwood

 African satinwood (turraeanthus africanus) is also referred to as Avodire and African white mahogany. It is native to tropical west Africa and grows from Angola to the Ivory Coast.
Avodire is a white to creamy gold-colored wood, often yielding a figured pattern ranging from a block mottle to crotches and swirls. It has a deep natural luster and has been compared to other fine furniture woods, specifically satinwood and mahogany. It is a rare wood that has many of the same tonal qualities of maple and rosewood with the workability of mahogany.  This wood has been described as bright sounding with plenty of volume.
