Shedua – Premium Exotic Hardwood Turning Blank 

Shedua (Guibourtia ehie), also known as Ovangkol, is a striking West African hardwood prized for its bold contrast, dramatic striping, and rich golden-to-dark brown coloration. With visual depth similar to rosewood or zebrawood—but with smoother workability—Shedua delivers eye-catching results with dependable performance.

This premium Shedua turning blank features a medium to coarse texture with interlocked grain that produces natural movement and contrast when turned. With sharp tools, it cuts cleanly and holds detail well, sanding to a smooth finish that enhances its natural luster and layered color tones. The dynamic grain ensures every finished piece is one of a kind.

Shedua is an excellent choice for pens, knife scales, bottle stoppers, bowls, small boxes, musical instruments, and decorative woodworking projects. Its balance of density, strength, and stability makes it suitable for both experienced turners and skilled beginners seeking a bold, exotic look.

Add rich African character and dramatic figure to your next creation with hand-selected Shedua wood blanks, chosen for color contrast, grain quality, and premium turning performance.
