Reviews for Granadillo 4/4 Lumber

When I ordered first I had miscalculated my needs. The guys at Woodworkers Source promptly processed my new order in short order and I received my second order in time to keep my project going.

I've never worked with a hardwood that was quite this hard. Two issues: 1) This is a very dense and therefore heavy hardwood, so large furniture pieces will be gorgeous but could be a challenge to move. 2) I mostly used tongue-and-groove construction for a table with hinged leaves, but when it came time to attach the leaves to the table with screwed in brass hinges, the screw holes were either too tight and the screws broke off in the wood or they split the wood (and the splits didn't appear right away) or they were too loose and barely held. I didn't expect that to happen and it nearly ruined my otherwise finished project. Realistically, forget about using decorative, brass screws in this wood. Before you drill and screw into your project, first practice on some scrap granadillo.

Beautiful wood
