Pernambuco
Guilandina echinata
Also called Ibirapitanga and Pau Brazil, this once important dyewood gave origin to the name of Brazil. It is now facing extinction over most of its growth area and is listed by CITES as endangered. The color of the heartwood is yellowish-brown to orange and is fine-grained, hard, and heavy. Rare.
Due to CITES regulations, we can only ship this species to customers in the United States.
We have had this board since 1981, when one could still buy Pernambuco lumber. This board looks to be flatsawn so the edge grain is quartersawn. It has a deep orange color with few if any physical defects. We encourage interested customers to come and inspect the board before purchase. If you have one, bring your Lucchi meter with you.
