Guibourtia ehie

Shedua (pronounced Shed-u-ah) is also called Amazakoue, Mozambique and

Ovangkoi and is imported directly from sawmills in Ghana, Ivory Coast and Cameroun

by Hogan Hardwoods International.

Shedua's color is from a mid-yellow to a chocolate brown with grayish-black stripes. Concerning cutting tools, there is a moderate blunting effect due to the silica content of the wood, and cutting edges must be kept sharp. The wood nails and screws well, glues with difficulty and finishes nicely. Shedua's heartwood is moderately durable and is an excellent choice for furniture, cabinets and flooring.
