Nice unique 90 cm Mopani

[plantbrain]

Mopani is typically blocky and tough to scape with.
I need to locate a few accessory pieces that match well with this main one.

Hi Tom,

I wanted to know from what tree Mopani comes ? In fact I am asking that because when I saw that picture I have directly noticed that it is the same wood I can find here in Congo.
Since I am a kid and playing with tank, every time I asked people to bring me wood for my tank they bring me this type of wood.
Would be great for me to know from where it come (natural habit, name of the wood and if possible a pic)
I will put a pic of the wood I have to compare, and hope it is the same.

Cheers

On that pic the appear very dark compare to your ! But this is because it was staying outside in the dust, sun, rain for more than 10 years. I have soak it for three weeks and give it a good brush. Now it is light brown as your.
