Sabicu

Sabicu wood or sabicu is the wood of Lysiloma latisiliquum, a smallish leguminous tree. The wood has a rich mahogany color; it is fairly heavy (sg 0.8), hard and durable, and therefore valued in shipbuilding. Sabicu, on account of its durability, was selected for the stairs of the Great Exhibition of London in 1851, and, notwithstanding the enormous traffic which passed over them, the wood at the end was found to be little affected by wear.
