Bloodwood

Bloodwood lives up to its name — one of the most vivid red hardwoods in existence, with a deep, saturated crimson color that remains remarkably stable over time without fading to brown like many other red species. The heartwood ranges from bright red to deep blood-red with occasional darker streaks. Fine grain and a naturally lustrous surface make it a standout for accent work and turnings where the color is the design.
