The wood and bark will produce a red dye. This wood is so unique it is difficult to make a comparison. The vivid red color will oxidize to a tan or brown color when exposed to light; with an oil or lacquer finish, the color darkens. Though moderately soft with a low density, the wood contains a lot of tension and is prone to twisting.

We received our order yesterday around 1:30 in the afternoon. The crew and I were so happy with the wood that we took the rest of the day off and it was beer and cigars all around. We alerted the media of our new found supplier and partied until the wee hours of the morning. We look forward to dealing with your company again in the near future.
