Details

Bloodwood (Brosimium paraense) or "cardinal wood" as it is commonly referred to, is a medium to hard wood with red to crimson color and tight straight interlocking grain. The bright, vivid red color can darken to a darker brownish red over time with exposure to light and air. Applying a thick protective finish, and keeping the wood out of direct sunlight can help minimize this color shift. Bloodwood is extremely dense, and may have a blunting effect on cutters. It is used for both trim and accents, as well as larger structural elements in furniture. Additional uses may include: case goods, carvings, inlays, guitars, knife handles, and turned objects.

Features:


  • Popular imported wood species known for being exceptionally hard, durable, strong, and beautiful
  • Excellent for turning
  • Finishes well leaving an exceptional and lustrous red to crimson surface
  • Native to tropical South America

What's Included:

  • (1) Bloodwood Dimensional Lumber
