BLOODWOOD (Brosimum paraense) This distinctive deep red colored wood is found in Central and Latin America primarily in the countries of Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana and Suriname. Bloodwood is also known as Satine, Amapa rana, Satinwood, Satinholz, Ferolia and Legno satino. The tree is of medium height with trunk diameters that average about 18 inches. Bloodwood is very resistant to insects and is a favorite with the crafter because it polishes nicely. However it is extremely hard and is rather difficult to machine without carbide tipped cutting tools. |
