8/4 Black Limba Lumber – 5-Pack | Kiln-Dried Exotic Hardwood | S2S
Black Limba is one of West Africa's most visually compelling exotic hardwoods — its pale golden-tan heartwood dramatically accented by bold dark brown to black streaking that gives each board wild character. Black Limba offers a light weight and considerably easy workability for an exotic wood, making it one of the most accessible exotic hardwoods for ambitious furniture and instrument builds. 8/4 black limba provides the substantial depth needed for statement tabletops, solid furniture components, and guitar body blanks where the bold contrast can be appreciated from every angle.
This 8/4 stock is surfaced 2 sides (S2S) to 1-7/8" and machines easily, glues well, and sands smoothly with both hand tools and machines. Dark streaking varies from subtle lines to bold contrast — each board is genuinely unique.
What's Included in This 5-Pack?
What Is 8/4 Black Limba Used For?
8/4 Black Limba is used for a variety of heavier builds where dramatic grain contrast and lighter weight work together. Common uses include statement tabletops and thick furniture panels where the bold dark streaking creates a focal point in any room, guitar body blanks and instrument builds, cutting boards, countertops, solid furniture legs, chair components, and sculptural accent pieces where the flowing grain pattern adds artistic depth to structural builds.
Working with thinner stock? See our 4/4 Black Limba 5-Pack for decorative panels, cabinet doors, and lighter instrument components.

Very nice looking material. I will get to use some this weekend, hopefully. It should be a decent contrast material alt for black walnut. Just making a side table for the covered porch.I hope to get at least the top done for a photo to add to the site.
