Angire Wood Collection

The Angire Wood Collection features the warm, refined character of Pterocarpus erinaceus, commonly marketed under the trade name Angire and sometimes associated with African Rosewood or African Padauk family relatives. Native to West Africa, this hardwood is valued for its rich color, fine texture, and dependable working properties.

Heartwood typically ranges from golden-brown to reddish-brown, often accented by darker streaking that adds depth and movement. The grain is generally straight to slightly interlocked with a medium-fine texture and natural luster that enhances beautifully under oil or high-gloss finishes.

Angire machines cleanly with sharp tools, holds crisp detail, and polishes smoothly, making it well suited for pen blanks, call blocks, bottle stoppers, and other precision turning projects. Its balanced density provides durability while remaining workable on the lathe.

The Angire Wood Collection is ideal for craftsmen seeking an African hardwood with warm tone, subtle contrast, and reliable performance in both traditional and hybrid applications.
