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. A 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. Larger blocks are sawn to +/- 1/4" of size listed, smaller blocks +/- 1/8". Spindle stock (1-1/2" - 2") dimensions are +/- 1/8". Grain runs with the longest dimension. South America.

I would buy again
it's real wood, so you get what you get. Some is figured better than others. Some fair...some very nice. None have been poor.
