Peroba Rosa

Peroba rosa (aspidosperma peroba) is a wood of variable colors, from tannish to as orange as the photo, which can remind one of the skin of a ripe peach. It originates from Southern Brazil or Paraguay. The grain is fine and the wood is extremely stable, making this an excellent turning wood. Reportedly, it has good sound qualities for duck calls and chanters (bagpipes), and possibly other musical uses. All of our pieces of peroba rosa are kiln-dried. Turns very well.

🪵 Good to know

Great to work with, fairly dense and fine grained, beautiful and not too expensive!

Pen Blanks

Peroba Rosa (historical) 310to316

Peroba Rosa reclaimed from the large door jambs of a house in Brazil built in the 1860's.    The door jambs were full of holes and large nails/cracks but we cut these perfect pieces from around all the problem areas. Some had this unusual patterning shown in these pen blanks.  Note that the size of the shortest one is 5" long and the longest in 6" long.

Knife Blanks

Peroba Rosa (historical) 300-303

These pieces of Peroba Rosa were cut from large door jambs that were in a house being torn down in Brazil.  The house was built in the 1860's.   The door jambs were full of nails and cracks so we cut these flawless pieces wherever we could get free of the nails, etc.  The wood has a deeper more saturated color than normal and is really nice to work.   (Dried long ago before any of us were born!).
