Bloodwood/Satine 3" x 5" x 5"

Bloodwood (brosimum 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. Excellent for turning.

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.

It's no wonder that Bloodwood has grown so popular as an imported wood species, as it is exceptionally hard, durable, strong, and beautiful. It is used for both trim and accents, as well as larger structural elements in furniture. South America.
