Pernambuco

This wood, also called Brazilwood is now very rare and in the near future will be unavailable, most likely for many years. It can be used for certain musical instruments, as a dye wood, and makes an excellent turning wood capable of taking fine detail. It finishes to a very fine gloss through sanding alone. Do not confuse it with Chakte viga, a possibly related wood that has somewhat different properties and color. Pernambuco sometimes looks like the picture above, but may be darker or lighter or have a few gray pastels intermixed. Expect grey pastels in some pieces, and these look good as an accent to the orange color.

Craft Blanks

Pernambuco 1-8

Real pernambuco is basically gone from the market for many years, it is uncommon to see a piece for sale. Note this is not the same thing as chakte viga, sold further down this page. They are related but pernambuco is the rare one. You can darken the color by putting in direct sunlight and then remove once it is almost as dark as you want. Sometimes this can take only 3 hours, so watch the piece while "tanning" it.
