Description
Timber from any of the oily, tropical trees of the family Canarium, such as the Canarium schweinfurthii tree, native to Nigeria and Ghana. Canarium wood is a light pinkish brown in color. It is often stained as a mahogany substitute for use in flooring, furniture and cabinetry. Canarium wood has a tendency to warp and is prone to insect attack. Some canarium trees exude a resin, called elemi, which is used in varnishes and inks.
