Tulipwood

About this product

Properties: The heartwood is yellow with irregular reddish streaks, stripes or with patches which fade when exposed to light and air. Nevertheless, very decorative. Due to the small diameter often has defects and split heart. Therefore, only suitable for occasional and inlay furniture, seldom used for architectural woodwork.

Machining: Since this wood is very hard, sharp tools are essential. The wood splits easily and tears when the feed speed is too high. Cleanly planed surfaces on the other hand are very smooth and have a light lustrous finish.

Seasoning: Drying should not be too quick to avoid later losses through checking. Bahia Rosewood is not prone to warping.
