Traditionally known by the name Satine, now more commonly called Bloodwood, is commonly used for Carvings, trim, inlays, furniture, guitars, knife handles, and turned objects. Though it poses some challenges in working characteristics, its hardness, strength, and coloration make this a crimson favorite.

It´s difficult to work on account of its high density. It´s hard ´n heavy!

It’s overall appearance is very similar to Zebrawood, though Marblewood tends to have a finer texture.

As a rare and small tree, prices for surfaced and milled Snakewood that display the characteristic snakeskin pattern are perhaps the most expensive of any exotic lumber worldwide.

Ipe is a difficult wood to work, being extremely hard and dense. It has excellent insect resistance and superb weathering characteristics (Ipe was used for the boardwalk along the beach of New York City’s Coney Island, and was said to have lasted 25 years before it needed to be replaced: an amazing lifespan given the amount of traffic and environmental stresses put upon the wood.)
Well, when it changed its destiny to be a bass – stop stompin´ on it :-)))
