Bloodwood (Brosimum rubescens)

Bloodwood is one of the most vividly coloured hardwoods in the world — its deep, rich crimson-red heartwood is truly unlike any other timber. Sourced from the tropical forests of South America, Bloodwood is prized by woodturners, jewellery makers, and craftspeople who want a timber that makes an immediate, unforgettable impression. The colour remains vibrant even after finishing, making it a standout choice for decorative and artistic work.
