Lati – Premium African Hardwood Turning Blank

Lati (Amphimas pterocarpoides) is a distinctive West African hardwood valued for its warm golden-yellow to amber coloration, bold ribbon figure, and excellent turning stability. Often compared to movingui or afromosia in appearance, Lati offers striking visual character with dependable workability.

This premium Lati turning blank features interlocked grain that produces natural shimmer and ribbon striping when finished. It turns smoothly with sharp tools and light cuts, holds crisp detail, and sands to a refined surface that highlights its natural luster and color depth. Over time, Lati’s bright tones gently deepen, adding richness and warmth to the finished piece.

Lati is well suited for pens, knife scales, bottle stoppers, small boxes, bowls, and decorative woodworking projects. Its balanced density and predictable behavior make it approachable for most skill levels while delivering the bold look expected from premium African hardwoods.

Add bright contrast and African elegance to your next project with carefully selected Lati wood blanks, chosen for color consistency, grain quality, and superior turning performance.
