Never mind. I just found it.
Not familiar with that word. Perhaps its a typo.
Just so we all know,
Triplochiton scleroxylon is a tree of the genus Triplochiton of the family Malvaceae. The timber is known by the common names African whitewood, abachi, obeche (in Nigeria), wawa (in Ghana), ayous (in Cameroon) and sambawawa (in Ivory Coast).

Ayous is also good for carving and because it is light and stift is also used for natural surfboards.I own a abachi cd-rack for about 700 cd's.No deformation , only color has changed from yellowish pale to more intensed pale. Practicaly you can think of it like a balsa wood but with much more impact resistance.
