Andira or Partridgewood

Andira Wood Collection

The Andira Wood Collection showcases the rich, durable character of Andira inermis, a tropical hardwood native to Central and South America and parts of the Caribbean. Commonly known by several trade names—including Cabbage Bark, Angelim, Bastard Mahogany, and Partridgewood (regional use varies)—Andira is valued for its strength, warm coloration, and dependable performance.

Heartwood ranges from medium to dark reddish-brown, often deepening with age and finishing. The grain is typically straight to slightly interlocked with a medium texture and subtle natural luster. When properly dried, Andira machines cleanly, holds crisp detail, and finishes to a smooth, refined surface.

Moderately heavy and durable, Andira offers good wear resistance and structural stability, making it well suited for pen blanks, call blocks, bottle stoppers, and other precision turning projects. Its balanced density allows for smooth shaping while maintaining strength in the finished piece.

The Andira Wood Collection is ideal for craftsmen seeking a tropical hardwood that combines rich color, solid durability, and reliable turning characteristics.
