Bois de sang

Le bois de sang est un bois dur exotique dense, connu pour sa couleur rouge profond frappante qui peut s'assombrir avec le temps. Il offre une excellente durabilité et une finition lisse, ce qui le rend idéal pour l'ébénisterie fine, le tournage et les pièces d'accent où une couleur audacieuse et vibrante est souhaitée.

Appearance

The blood-red color is bright and vivid but will darken to a brownish red colour over time with exposure to light. The grain is typically straight or slightly interlocked. The texture is fine and is often somewhat chatoyant.

Workability

Bloodwood is quite hard and has an extreme blunting effect on tool edges. It’s very brittle and can splinter while working so patience is required and well worth it.

Uses

Commonly used for inlays, carvings, trim work, knife handles, and turnings.

Additional Comments

The colour shift can be slowed by using a UV protective finish and kept out of direct sunlight. The colour is striking and can be worth the fussiness of working with it.
