Rosa Peroba

Latin: Aspidosperma polyneuron Origin: Brazil and Argentina

Rosa Peroba comes from South America, but more specifically, from Brazil, Paraguay, Peru, and Argentina. Its color ranges from a pinkinsh-red to yellow, with occasional brown or purple streaks, and has a yellowish sapwood. This color will darken with age, turning a brownish-yellow to dark brown. It is commonly used for veneers, furniture, cabinetry, beekeeping, and carvings. Being that it is a very durable wood and resistant to decay, many use it for general construction, such as flooring, beams, and even railroad sleepers. This wood dries with little checking or splitting and it glues, turns, and finishes well.
