Mopani
- Colophospermum mopane
Mopani grows in South
Africa - it's extreme hardness offers resistance to termites,
making it Africa's natural choice for building houses and fences,
and for adding decorative touches; until recently, it had been
the traditional wood used in making clarinets, and sculptures.
It is extremely hard, turns very well & takes a very high
polish. Great for bottle stoppers & pens.
