Jatoba – Premium Brazilian Cherry Hardwood Turning Blank

Jatoba, commonly known as Brazilian Cherry, is a stunning tropical hardwood prized for its deep reddish-brown color, exceptional hardness, and long-lasting durability. Its rich natural tones darken beautifully with age, giving each finished piece a warm, elegant, and timeless character. With its tight grain and high density, Jatoba is a favorite among turners and woodworkers seeking a strong, reliable exotic hardwood.
