Doussie

Doussie is an african hardwood specie. Heartwood is a reddish brown. Well defined sapwood is a pale yellowish white. Color tends to darken with age. Grain is interlocked with a uniform medium to coarse texture; naturally lustrous.

Generally considered somewhat difficult to work on account of its interlocked grain, causing tearout during machining operations.

Doussie is commonly used for furniture, cabinetry, veneer, flooring, docks, boatbuilding, exterior millwork and construction, turned objects, inlays, and other small specialty wood items.
