Lati

The Lati Wood Collection features the bold, distinctive character of Lati (Amphimas pterocarpoides), a dense African hardwood valued for its dramatic grain and natural contrast. With a warm golden-brown to olive base accented by dark streaking, Lati delivers strong visual movement that stands out in both traditional and modern turned pieces.

Lati is known for its hardness and stability, machining cleanly and finishing to a smooth, refined surface. Its interlocked grain creates striking patterns once turned, while its weight and density provide a solid, high-quality feel in finished work. Subtle natural luster enhances depth and contrast under oil, CA, or high-gloss finishes.

Whether used as a solid blank or incorporated into hybrid designs, Lati offers durability, character, and visual intensity. Each piece in the collection is prepared with consistency and performance in mind, ensuring reliable results for makers who value both strength and aesthetics.

The Lati Wood Collection is ideal for craftsmen seeking a hardwood with bold grain, rich color, and dependable performance.
