Cambodian Beng (Afzelia)

or Afzelia xylocarpa
 

Beng is also called Rosewood in Cambodia, because of its beautiful reddish brown color,
but it is not a true Rosewood, so we use its Cambodian name. We are told it is very similar to African Afzelia. It is hard, very stable, machines beautifully and is a pleasure to work with.  We sawed most of our cants into wide book matched sets or vertical grain boards.  This is one or our favorite materials; Asians and Europeans are familiar with it but it is very rare now and almost unheard of in the United States.
