Kevazinga is the name given to Bubinga veneer that has been rotary cut to capitalize on its eccentric grain patterns. This exceptional veneer is red-brown in color; with dark veining, a coarse texture, and a lively, swirly grain interspersed with “peanut” or pommele markings. Highly sought after for high-end cabinetry and architectural use.

Grain / TextureWarm Rosy color with purple swirling grain lines.
WorkabilityKevazingo, a figured form of Bubinga veneer, may dull cutting edges due to silica content and is prone to tear-out during machining because of its interlocked grain. Gluing can be difficult due to high density and natural oils, but the veneer generally accepts stains and finishes well, often finished with a clear coat to enhance its figure.
