The Power and Beauty of Moabi: A Timber of Distinction

Moabi, scientifically known as Baillonella toxisperma, is a heavy and highly valued hardwood native to Central and West Africa, with a strong presence in the forests of Cameroon. It stands out in the timber world for its extraordinary physical properties and captivating aesthetic appeal.

Color and Grain:

The heartwood of Moabi is its most striking feature, presenting a beautiful reddish-brown to dark red hue that often features subtle purplish undertones. This color deepens and gains a rich, lustrous patina with age and exposure to light, giving finished pieces a sense of timeless elegance. The grain is typically fine and interlocked, which, when properly milled, creates a smooth, almost polished surface. The texture is even and dense, contributing to its superb finish and visual depth. This unique combination of deep color and fine grain makes Moabi a favorite for projects where a luxurious, warm, and distinctive look is desired.

Exceptional Durability and Density:

Moabi is celebrated for its incredible density and hardness, ranking among the top-tier hardwoods in the world. It boasts a high rating on the Janka hardness scale, making it exceptionally resistant to dents, scratches, and wear This inherent strength ensures longevity and resilience in high-traffic and heavy-duty applications. Furthermore, Moabi exhibits excellent natural resistance to rot, decay, and insect infestation, particularly termites. These properties make it an ideal choice for both interior and demanding exterior uses, including environments where moisture and pests are a concern. Its dimensional stability is also a key feature; while it is a heavy timber, it remains stable once properly dried and installed, resisting warping and cracking

Workability:

Despite its density, Moabi is surprisingly workable for skilled craftsmen. It responds well to both hand and machine tools, though carbide-tipped tools are recommended due to its hardness. It can be planed, sawn, and shaped to a high degree of precision, allowing for intricate detailing. Moabi holds screws and nails firmly and accepts glues and finishes beautifully, resulting in a superb, long-lasting surface Its natural oils, which contribute to its decay resistance, are not a barrier to proper finishing, allowing for a magnificent, polished appearance.

Our Premium Moabi Sawn Wood: Uncompromising Excellence

At CUF Group, we place immense importance on the condition and quality of our Premium Moabi Sawn Wood. We understand that the integrity of the raw material is the foundation of any successful project. Our commitment to excellence is evident in every piece of timber we supply:

• Sustainably Sourced from Our Own Concessions: Our Moabi is ethically and legally sourced from the Forest Management Units (UFAs) we own and manage in the South Cameroon region. We adhere strictly to responsible forestry practices, including selective harvesting of mature trees, promoting forest regeneration, and ensuring the long-term health of the ecosystem. This direct control over our concessions guarantees traceability and a truly sustainable supply chain.
• Precision Milling and Grading: Our state-of-the-art Ebolowa industrial sawmill is equipped with advanced sawing lines that ensure precision cutting of Moabi logs into various dimensions of sawn lumber. Each board undergoes meticulous grading to ensure consistent quality and adherence to strict international standards. We produce various cuts to meet diverse needs, from Flatsawn for general use to specific cuts for heavy construction.
• Optimal Kiln-Drying (KD): Our Premium Moabi Sawn Wood is subjected to a controlled kiln-drying process. This critical step reduces the wood’s moisture content to an optimal level, significantly enhancing its dimensional stability and minimizing the risk of warping, cracking, and internal stresses post-installation. Our six drying cells (with a capacity of approximately 1500 m³ per month) ensure that the wood is perfectly prepared for immediate use, retaining its vibrant color and structural integrity.
• Excellent Condition, Ready for Application: Our Sawn Moabi arrives in pristine condition, largely free from major defects such as large knots, splits, insect damage, or rot. The surfaces are smoothly sawn, requiring minimal preparation before sanding, shaping, and finishing. This means less waste, reduced labor, and a superior starting point for your projects. We ensure that our timber is stable, strong, and ready for you to transform into a finished masterpiece.
