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

  • Wood is a product of nature, and as such, no two pieces are alike to start with, the same wood growing in different locales can vary greatly even though it is the exact same species.

    Amazing coloration on this Bloodwood

    I have worked Bloodwood into many of my recent projects due to it's ability to make items "pop" with contrast. The hardwood in larger thickness' remains true to shape and has not warped or twisted as it seems to have been properly dried prior to arrival. Nice quality wood worth every penny for the impact it makes. Actually is a blood coloration and brings a beautiful red tone to your projects.

    beautiful bloodwood

    I purchased this item to make a set of guitar pickup covers for a customer. The wood is exactly what I expected, excellent quality and very nice color. I will definitely continue to do business with Woodcraft.
