Ziricote Turning Blanks & Pen Blanks

Ziricote Cordia dedecandra

Ziricote heartwood is tobacco colored to reddish brown, with irregular dark brown or blackish streaks and variegations, with more or less of an oily or waxy appearance; rather sharply demarcated from the grayish or yellowish sapwood. Luster variable; texture fine to medium, grain variable. It resembles Brazilian Rosewood because of its unique grain lines and tendency for spider webbing. Ziricote is a very dense and heavy wood which allows for a bright, glass-like tone. Ziricote has a high durability rating.

Typical Uses: Fine furniture, musical instruments, cabinet work, turnery, flooring, rotary and sliced veneer.
