    Details

    (Piratinera guianensis) Snakewood can be challenging to work, but it turns exceptionally well. When polished, it is one of the most beautiful species of hardwood. The heartwood is a dark red or reddish brown with conspicuous, irregular black speckles or stripes resembling skins of certain snakes. Grain is typically straight. South America.

    Due to the nature of wood movement, shrinkage and expansion are possible. Please measure each piece carefully before starting any project.

    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.

      Watch the size

      Usually have steady supply. Usually maybe 15% are undersized but they will get you the right size if you send them back. Not top of the line figure but OK for the price. So good for certain purposes but not for "gem" quality purposes like demanding customers or a unique display. Good company for general things.
