Bloodwood is a Great Choice for Woodworking of All TypesBloodwood comes from brosimum rubescens and is also known as Muirapiranga, Satine, Rubane, and Cardinal Wood. Originating from South America, bloodwood is a good choice for cabinet marking, furniture, veneers, and decorative inlays. The craft of Marquetry also utilizes bloodwood because of the rich natural colors it provides. You can find bloodwood in shades of red from deep rich red to grayish red. The grain can be either straight or varied with a smooth and fine texture. Bloodwood is famous for its radiant and variegated yellow and red stripes.
Bloodwood Color & Benefits
Bloodwood hardwood has the following characteristics:
- High bending and crushing strength with a Janka hardness of 2900
- Medium stiffness and resistance to shock
- Low steam bending characteristics, with a tendency to splinter
- Although hard and tough, it works easily with hand and power tools
- Durable and very resistant to preservative treatment
- Dries slowly without much movement & degradation
As it ages, bloodwood slowly turns into a deep brown color. To help preserve red color and extend the aging process, use lacquers and/or water based finishes.
