This African hardwood is used locally throughout its natural range, and as a result, it known by a great number of regional names, such as ayous, obeche, samba, and wawa. Although the most common name used in commercial trade seems to be ‘obeche,’ there’s perhaps no name more fitting to describe this wood than the indistinctive title of ‘African whitewood.’
