Primavera (Roseodendron donnell-smithii) is also called White Mahogany, Prima Vera, and Palo Blanco is a pale cream color to a golden yellow color wood. Color tends to darken and redden with age. Can exhibit a ribbon-like chatoyant grain pattern similar to quartersawn Sapele with medium texture and medium sized pores. The grain also has a natural high luster. Although Primavera frequently has interlocked and irregular grain, it is overall quite easy to work with, most likely on account of its rather low density compared to other hardwoods. It does, however, have a moderate blunting effect on cutting edges, so carbide tools are recommended. Primavera also tends to split when nailed or screwed, so pilot holes are recommended despite the wood’s softness. Turns, glues, stains, and finishes well.
