Bloodwood 7to16

Dried bloodwood in ultra rare PRIMO PLUS grade. Bloodwood grades of primo are way above average for bloodwood and have a nice saturated red color. Note that we do our best with photos but we really cannot show how nice these are. Primo Plus is a new grade we had to add to explain the quality of this limited supply of deeper red , usually higher density and finer grained bloodwood.

The extra care we take: bloodwood bought already dried is important because bloodwood over 1.25 inches thick is really quite difficult to dry and cannot be forced. Kiln drying sometimes works but usually just ends up ruining all the wood. We make sure any pieces over 1″ thick are dried very gently in a multi step process that can take years. Even this means we lose about 1/3 of the wood due to cracking, but we wait for any cracks to form and then cut them out before we send the wood.
