Bloodwood – Deep Red Exotic Hardwood with Exceptional Density & Stunning Natural Color
Bloodwood (Brosimum rubescens) is a premium South American hardwood renowned for its vibrant, ruby-red color, exceptional density, and glass-smooth finish. Its intense natural red hue—often compared to crimson or wine—makes it one of the most striking exotic woods available to turners, carvers, and fine woodworkers.
Why Woodworkers Choose Bloodwood
Naturally Vibrant Red Color – One of the brightest red hardwoods in the world, needing no stain to stand out.
High Density & Strength – Extremely durable, ideal for small specialty items and precision work.
Smooth, Polished Finish – Sands and buffs to a glass-like sheen, perfect for high-end crafts.
Fine, Uniform Texture – Allows for crisp detail and clean turning.
Excellent Wear Resistance – Perfect for items that need to withstand daily use.
Popular Uses for Bloodwood
Pen blanks, turning projects, and bottle stoppers
Knife scales, tool handles, and small instruments
Inlay, accents, and fine woodworking details
Jewelry, ornaments, and decorative items
Cutting boards, boxes, and heirloom keepsakes
Why Bloodwood Stands Out
Bloodwood is prized for its unmatched natural color, superior density, and refined grain structure. When polished, it delivers a luxurious, high-contrast look that elevates any project. Whether you’re crafting a premium pen or a detailed decorative piece, Bloodwood offers intensity, durability, and visual appeal that few other woods can match.
