Working and finishing Bloodwood
Extremely dense and has a pronounced blunting effect on cutters; the wood tends toward brittleness and can splinter or chip out during machining, so slow feed rates and sharp carbide are essential.
A UV-inhibiting film or oil finish slows the colour shift from bright red toward brown; commonly used for inlay, trim, knife handles and turned objects rather than cutting boards.
Sold as is. Grain, colour and figure vary from piece to piece. Confirm the dimensions your build needs before you buy.
