Canarywood Slab

Canarywood (Centroloblum orinocense) color can vary from a pale yellow-orange to a darker reddish brown, usually with darker streaks throughout. The color tends to darken with age. A medium texture hardwood, the grain is typically straight, but can be irregular or wild on some pieces. Easy to work with both hand and machine tools. It is best to pre-bore for fasteners when using Canarywood. Common uses include construction lumber, railroad crossties, flooring, veneers, boat-building, furniture, boxes, musical instruments, cabinetry and turned items. Slab measures 1-1/4" x 16" x 50" and has been surfaced on both sides.
