Surinam Ironwood – Ultra-Dense Exotic Hardwood Turning Blank
Surinam Ironwood (Vouacapoua americana / often sold under regional ironwood names) is a legendary South American hardwood renowned for its extreme density, exceptional durability, and deep reddish-brown to chocolate coloration. Valued for centuries in heavy construction and maritime applications, this wood brings unmatched strength and gravitas to fine turning and precision projects.
This premium Surinam Ironwood turning blank features a tight, uniform grain and high natural oil content, allowing it to take crisp detail when turned with sharp tools and slow, controlled cuts. It sands to a glass-smooth surface and finishes beautifully, developing a deep, luxurious luster that highlights its rich color and subtle figure.
Surinam Ironwood is ideal for high-end pens, knife scales, tool handles, bottle stoppers, cue components, and heirloom-quality turnings where strength, weight, and longevity matter. Due to its hardness, it is best suited for experienced turners, but the results are exceptionally rewarding.
Add unmatched density and elite performance to your next creation with carefully selected Surinam Ironwood blanks, chosen for structural integrity, color depth, and premium presentation.
