Bolivian Rosewood, scientifically known as Machaerium scleroxylon, is a highly sought-after exotic hardwood renowned for its stunning appearance and exceptional durability. 

Characteristics of Bolivian Rosewood:

Appearance:

    • Color: Bolivian Rosewood features a vibrant palette of colors. The heartwood ranges from reddish to dark brown, often with attractive streaks of black, purple, and gold.
    • Grain: The grain is generally straight but can sometimes be irregular or interlocked, contributing to its unique visual appeal. It has a fine to medium texture with a natural luster.

      Durability:

      • Bolivian Rosewood is known for its hardness and density, making it highly resistant to wear and tear. It is also resistant to decay and insect attacks, which enhances its longevity.

        Workability:

        • While it is a hard and dense wood, Bolivian Rosewood is relatively easy to work with using both hand and machine tools. It turns, glues, and finishes well, though it can sometimes cause dulling of tools due to its density.

          Applications:

          • This hardwood is popular in high-end furniture, cabinetry, flooring, and musical instruments. Its striking appearance makes it a favored choice for decorative veneers, fine woodworking, and custom projects.

Its unique and varied color patterns, along with its robust nature, make it a versatile and highly prized hardwood for a wide range of applications.
