The bright red background of Redheart (Erythroxylon mexicanum) is host to a number of very interesting streaks and closed knots. It is smooth and tight grained, and sands to a nice workable surface. Redheart does not tear out when planed, and is nice for scroll sawing. In many ways it is similar to Bloodwood in character and color without the possibility of allergic reaction from the dust. Common uses for Redheart include turned objects, inlays, veneer, fine furniture, and small specialty wood items.

Notes:

Wood is a product of nature, and as such, no two pieces are alike to start with, the same wood growing in different locales can vary greatly even though it is the exact same species.

Due to the nature of wood movement, shrinkage and expansion are possible. Please measure each piece carefully before starting any project.
