It depends on which species of stinkwood you are talking about. Black Stinkwood (Ocotea bullata) is a beautiful wood that ranges from honey colour to dark black. It is quite demanding on tools but very rewarding.

Red Stinkwood (Prunus africana) is also a beautiful red wood that takes a fine finish. White Stinkwood (Celtis africana) is quite easy to work with but tends to spalt easily (which can be desirable) and is prone to borer.
