Brazilian Tulipwood
Item: BTUL151512
Product Description
Heartwood is streaked with yellows, reds, oranges, and pinks. Colour and figure can be highly variegated. Pores are open and medium-sized. Grain is usually straight, with a fine texture.
Endgrain: Semi-ring-porous or ring-porous; very large earlywood pores grading down to medium latewood pores, sometimes arranged radially, very few to few; solitary and in radial multiples of 2-3; yellow and reddish heartwood deposits present; narrow rays not visible without lens, spacing fairly close; parenchyma diffuse-in-aggregates, vasicentric, unilateral, winged, and banded (marginal).
Workability: Tends to be difficult to work due to its high density; also has a blunting effect on cutters. Can be difficult to glue do to an abundance of natural oils and high density. Turns very well and takes a high polish.
