Description
Tigerwood (Astronium graveolens, Astronium fraxinifolium) is a hard exotic wood known for its bold, contrasting grain. Its typical golden to reddish-brown color is complemented by dark streaks and veining reminiscent of tiger stripes.
The wood is dense, strong, and durable, making it suitable for precise craftsmanship. It cuts, turns, sands, and polishes well. For best results, we recommend using high-quality sharp tools.
When treated with oil or wax, the contrast of the grain is enhanced, the color deepens, and the surface gains a natural luster.
Tigerwood is an ideal choice for:
- knife handles
- tool handles
- turned items
- wooden jewelry
- decorative objects
- premium wooden accessories
Each piece is unique, with its own grain pattern, color tone, and structure.
