Also known as Ciricote, this rare species is only found in a small portion of Central America on the Caribbean coast. Trees are commonly 15-20" in diameter with heights of 45-75'. The tree produces an edible fruit and beautiful orange yellow flowers. The wood is prized locally and is used for carvings, furniture, and handles for knives. It is denser than Rosewoods at .95 density. It is a little brittle but has a crisp, bright tone when used in instruments. Beautiful spider-webbing is reminiscent of Brazilian Rosewood. Patterns like valleys, plateaus, & mountains make a stunning landscape figure. Our Ziricote is imported in log form so that we can control the conversion of the wood in our sawmill. It turns to an extremely high glass-like polish.
W22865: Special Grade. Fits an electric or bass guitar.
This beautiful Ziricote wood has been kiln dried, surfaced on two sides, and may be sealed on the ends. Some lumber will have occasional very faint hairline checks in black streaks or a minor end check that should be easy to work with or around. These are usually near or on the sapwood; they are very small and minor. This wood is exceptionally high quality A grade material. Please look at the pictures to see coverage of sapwood on faces. This is the same material that we use to cut instrument sets that are sold to larger instrument companies. It is getting much harder to obtain this wood so stock up and take advantage of the wonderful pricing!
