Bloodwood

Trade Name :
Bloodwood, Satiné

Origin :
South America

Uses :
Since the heartwood shows an intensive red coloring, Bloodwood is used for many decorative purposes, for example for high-end furniture in both, veneer and solid wood, turning objects, knife handles, marquetries and many more. Due to the relatively small diameters of the red heartwood, Bloodwood is used rather seldom in the veneer industry. This wood is relatively unknown in Europe, but it is of greater importance in America.

Properties :
The heartwood of this species has a deep red color and partly shows yellowish color stripes and a beautiful golden glow. The light yellow sapwood is sharply set-off from the heartwood. The structure is multifaceted and finely set-off most of the time.

Jointing :
Problem-free.
