I’d love to see them wild one day in Central Africa… if there are any left. On a related note the back and neck of my favourite guitar is made from this, marketed as “African Mahogany” due to the close similarity of the wood to the true mahoganies of the Americas - now under heavy restrictions due to overharvesting.</p>
