Bloodwood SAmerican Veneer Information

Bloodwood, also known as Adda, comes from Central/Latin America. Not all Bloodwoods are deep red and some arn't red at all. So far we have only worked and inventoried with what we assume to be the very red version of Adda. This wood is actually very pretty and I think that it holds its color well so if you like red and an attractive grain, it could be just what you are looking for. Bloodwood is dense, brittle and it can move around a bit. When we work with bloodwood we are very careful not to scare the hell out of it with to much heat or moisture. I would suggest that the first time you work with this particular wood that you take a minute to experiment with it just to get comfortable with what it may or may not do in your shop. We do try to keep some in inventory but rely on mill inventory's if we need a full sequence for a project.
