Dark red wood

[aldwardo]

I am looking for a wood that would have a dark red color. I was curious what people would recommend that would fit that bill. Thank you!

Thank you very much! Exactly what I was looking for! Anyone know of a source for 2" Turning stock?

CSUSA and Woodcraft both carry it.

Bloodwood, How much do you need ? I have tons of it, kiln dried floor boards.

Are you looking for 2" thick, or 2" square blocks, or just what? I have a bit of Bloodwood I cut long ago for pen blanks and I would guess they are 0.5" square by 5.5" or there-abouts. How much do you need?

I am looking for 2" square by 3" or more long. Thank you all for the help! I have some on the way!

I prefer Mexican Redheart available at Cooks Woods and Spa City Woodworks. It works great and is a true dark red. Top is Redheart and Maple. This is the top to a jewelry box I made my Granddaughter.

That is one very beautiful piece of work, IMHO
