Bloodwood (Brosimum paraense) also called satiné or muirapiranga comes from Central and South America from countries such as Brazil, Venezuela, Peru ,and Panama.
The wood is very hard, dense, durable, and heavy. It can be easily worked and has an intense red color that will lose barely any intensity over the years. It is traditionally used to make furniture, turned pieces, and knife handles, but it has also been used to make guitars and inlays.
Dimensions: approx. 125 x 40 x 30 mm

Finely grained wood may contain imperfections such as open knots, bark inclusions, or cracks that are typical of the species. These flaws come from the way the tree has grown and are completely natural. They can usually be filled with low-viscosity cyanoacrylate (super glue) and wood dust.
