About

Ayous or Obeche is a light-coloured African hardwood primarily found in Central West Africa, in and around Ghana and the Ivory Coast. It has a pale yellow heartwood and lighter sapwood. Ribbon-like stripes commonly appear on quartersawn surfaces. Despite being a hardwood, it is not very strong, hard or durable, but it is available easily, is relatively inexpensive and very easy to work with, which makes it a popular choice in its native regions.
