    Centroloblum orinocense. Color can vary from a pale yellow-orange to a darker reddish-brown, usually with darker streaks throughout, and tends to darken with age. A medium texture hardwood, Canarywood’s grain is typically straight, but can be irregular or wild on some pieces. It is easy to work with both hand and machine tools, though some tear-out can occur during planing on pieces with wild or irregular grain. It turns, glues and finishes well. Canarywood is said to have good acoustic properties, and it is sometimes used for speaker enclosures and entertainment system cabinets. Native to Mexico. Some other common uses for Canarywood include: construction lumber, railroad crossties, flooring, veneers, boat building, furniture, cabinetry, and turned items.

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