It also extends up the east coast as far north as Kenya.    Tambootie is a rare and beautiful wood. The heartwood color is dark to light chocolate. The sapwood, with its lightly yellowish color gives a nice contrast.         Tambootie's texture is fine and even with a straight grain. Quite often it is well figured. The wood is tough and heavy (67 lb/ft). It is very durable and highly resistant to insects and fungi and has a pleasant odor.
