Lati

kurz und knapp

The little-known wood Lati, which comes from the botanical species Amphimas ferrugineus (= A. klaineanum) and Amphimas pterocarpoides, is one of the heavy, yellowish woods of Africa. Widespread in various African countries, including Equatorial Guinea, Ivory Coast, Gabon, Ghana, Cameroon, Congo, Liberia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Zaire, it is available on a long-term basis due to its wide distribution and is particularly valued as a decorative veneer for interiors.

Color and texture

The sapwood of the Lati is almost white and about 5 cm wide, while the heartwood has a yellow to light golden brown color. The coarse, scattered pores and straight pore grooves create a surface that does not appear particularly porous. The wood ray pattern, consisting of fine wood rays arranged in a tiered pattern, has a subtle influence on the appearance of the wood. The most striking feature is the light-colored storage cell bands, which give the wood a characteristic two-tone appearance.

Charakter

Lati präsentiert sich als gelbliches Laubholz mit einer auffälligen, helleren Speicherzellenstruktur und grober Porung, ähnlich der Holzart Eyong. Der Faserverlauf ist überwiegend gerade, teilweise mit leichtem Wechseldrehwuchs.

Workability

Die Bearbeitung erfordert erheblichen Kraftaufwand, ist jedoch gut zu verleimen.

Drying process

Das Holz ist schwer zu trocknen, was seine Verarbeitung beeinflusst.

Areas of application

Lati findet vor allem im Innenausbau Verwendung, beispielsweise für Kleinparkett, Gestelle von Sitzmöbeln, Kleinmöbel, Zierverpackungen und Spielzeug. Als Messerfurnier wird es dekorativ für Vertäfelungen und Sichtflächen im Möbelbau eingesetzt. Aufgrund seiner speziellen Eignung für künstliche farbliche Veränderungen wird Lati auch als Imitation anderer Holzarten genutzt, mit Namen wie Faux Wenge, Kristalleiche oder Liberian Oak.

Alternatives

As a veneer in its natural coloring, Lati can be compared with wood species such as Cerejeira, Eyong, Koto and Movingui. It is suitable as a brownish steamed alternative to oak and can imitate wenge (Millettia laurentii) or panga-panga (Millettia stuhlmannii) when dyed through. As a solid wood, Lati is sometimes used for Celtis (Ohia), oak, ash (Fraxinus excelsior), Eyong, Koto, Ossol (Symphonia globulifera) and copper beech (Fagus sylvatica).

Notes

Lati's versatility is evident in its role as an imitator of other wood species, often with names that disguise the wood's origin. From Faux Wenge to Liberian Oak, Lati is valued for its particular suitability for color changes in various applications.
