Wamara is a large tree mainly produced in tropical America and tropical Africa, belonging to the Fabaceae (Legume) family. Mature trees can reach 30m. The wood is dense, hard, heavy, and lustrous. Sapwood is nearly white or pale yellow, with a clear demarcation from the heartwood. Heartwood is dark brown to purplish-brown, with distinct and attractive dark olive or purplish-brown streaks. Additionally, some Wamara timber may exhibit two distinct shades of color within the same plank, commonly called "Mandarin Duck Wamara." Crafts made from this wood can naturally display a wonderful color-contrast effect.
