GUIDE OF SÉDHIOU - Cesie

Their peculiarity is to have a diameter greater than 45
centimeters. Thus the cutting of these trees can produce
beams for infrastructure. The strength is a characteristic
common to all.
Secondly, there are species for artisanal production. If you
own a djembe it may be derived from these trees. They are
called wood crafts. Their diameter, inferior to 45 centimeters,
allows the artisans to easily work on the wood. In addition
many dead trees can be useful for this purpose. Here follows
the list of the species:
The dead Dimb for creating sculptures, djembes ...
The dead Palm Tree for house building (roofs, fences…)
Caïlcedrat, Fromager, Tomboiro Noir and Linké for the
creation of canoes
The dead Romier for furniture manufacturing
The Bamboo, which is very widespread, is very used in the
region of Sédhiou. It is highly resistant to termites, which are
very present
here. It is called Wood service.
And finally, there is brushwood:
Kinkeliba, whose leaves are daily used for making the
typical local tea
Terminaliat, which is used to brush teeth
Baobab, famous for his oil
