Bubinga is a genus of trees in the Fabaceae family that are native to tropical Africa. There are various types of bubinga, but the most commercially important is Guibourtia demeusei. Bubinga is classified on Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), which implies that the import and export of bubinga products are controlled. Importing bubinga wood into most countries requires a CITES authorization.

Sustainability:

Bubinga is a slow-growing tree whose numbers have been dropping in recent years due to illegal logging and habitat destruction. It is critical to get bubinga wood from sustainable sources verified by organizations such as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).

Properties and uses:

Bubinga is a firm, solid wood with a stunning reddish-brown hue. It is commonly used for high-end furniture, flooring, musical instruments, and other specialized uses. Bubinga is tough to deal with, although it can be polished to a high shine. Bubinga wood is relatively expensive due to its scarcity and CITES status.

Alternatives:

If you are concerned about the sustainability of bubinga, there are several alternative woods to consider, including padauk, jatoba, and wenge.
