Description
Santos Rosewood (Machaerium scleroxylon), also known as Bolivian Rosewood or Morado, is a dense and durable hardwood native to Central and South America. Renowned for its rich color palette, Santos Rosewood typically features deep brown tones with reddish or purplish hues, often accented by darker streaks and an interlocked grain pattern. Its stunning appearance, similar to traditional rosewoods, makes it a popular choice for high-end furniture, cabinetry, musical instruments, and decorative veneers.
This wood is highly durable and resistant to wear, decay, and insect damage, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Despite its density, Santos Rosewood works well with sharp tools and takes a smooth finish, polishing beautifully to highlight its natural luster and vibrant grain. With its combination of aesthetic appeal and exceptional durability, Santos Rosewood is a favourite for luxury woodworking and design projects, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional rosewoods while maintaining similar visual and functional qualities.
