Botanical Name: Brosimum paraense
 What's the wood like?
Extraordinarily hard, dense, and tight grained. Bloodwood often holds a lot of tension in the wood, making it unstable and prone to twist or cup. It's best used in small pieces. However, woodworkers like the way it finishes and polishes, and the vivid color is always eye catching.  How's the color?
Rich strawberry red to light pink or yellowish red; sometimes with golden yellow stripes.  Does it go by other names?
Satine, Amapa rana, Pau rainha, Falso pao brasil, Conduru, Satinwood, Muirapiranga, Satine rouge, Satine rubane, Siton paya, Satijnhout, Doekaliballi, Satinholz, Ferolia, Legno satino, Palo de oro, Bloodwood  What could I use it for?
Musical instruments, jewelry boxes, inlays, small parts, accessories  What is the tree like?
Central America, Latin America; Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname
