    Shedua Lumber for Sale

    Shedua is an African hardwood that bears a faint resemblance to Wenge Lumber. It is a bit lighter in color than wenge and not quite as dense, but Shedua finishes to a highly polished look.  The grain is dark making a beautiful contrast to to the brown earth tones of the heartwood.  Shedua's sapwood is an off-white yellowish color, but is usually limited to the edges of boards if it appears at all.  Shedua is available as rough lumber typically in 4/4 and 8/4 and upon request as surfaced or ripped material.
