Bloodwood

Latin: Brosimum rubescens Origin: Tropical South America

Bloodwood is a very popular turning and furniture making wood due to the vivid red coloring. It is very dense and brittle but finishes with a very lustrous surface. Bloodwood is also called Satine, and generally used for turning projects, intarsia, furniture, guitars and inlays. It is important to finish with a UV protectant and keep the project out of direct sunlight in order to delay any browning of the color.
