Also called Laurel Blanco or Salmwood, Canalete is a sought-after hardwood recognized for its warm coloration and appealing natural glow. The heartwood ranges from light yellowish to golden brown, often accented with darker streaks, and the grain is generally straight with a uniform texture. Highly dimensionally stable and easy to work, Canalete machines smoothly with hand or power tools, and it glues, stains, and finishes exceptionally well. Its combination of beauty, reliability, and ease of use makes it a favorite choice for turning projects, furniture, veneer, and fine millwork. Not listed in the CITES Appendices, Canalete is a sustainable option for woodworkers seeking quality and character.
