Bloodwood - 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 18" - Kiln Dried
Wait no longer to turn your project. Blanks have been kiln-dried and can be turned immediately; no more worries about moisture.
Bloodwood (Brosimum paraense) or "Cardinal Wood" as it is commonly referred to, is a medium-to-hard wood with a red-to-crimson color and tight straight interlocking grain. The bright, vivid red color can darken to a darker brownish red over time with exposure to light and air. Applying a thick protective finish and keeping the wood out of direct sunlight can help minimize this color shift. Bloodwood is extremely dense and may have a blunting effect on cutters. It is used for both trim and accents, as well as larger structural elements in furniture. Additional uses may include: carvings, inlays, guitars, knife handles and turned objects.

- Popular imported wood species known for being exceptionally hard, durable, strong and beautiful

- Wood is a product of nature, and as such, no two pieces are alike to start. The same wood growing in different locales can vary greatly even though it is the exact same species.
- Due to the nature of wood movement, shrinkage and expansion are possible. Please measure each piece carefully before starting any project.
- Cut from quality, kiln-dried stock. The grain runs with the longest dimension.
- Carving and turning blocks are sawn to +/- 1/4" of the listed size.
