Tigerwood Thin

Tigerwood Thin

Tigerwood is a very hard, strong, and durable wood that is excellent for indoor and outdoor projects!

You may also recognize this wood as Goncalo Alves. The heartwood is a nice medium reddish brown with dark brown or black streaking. Tigerwood darkens with age and typically has a wavy or interlocked grain. It is commonly used in a variety of larger projects such as furniture, cabinets, and flooring. It is also an excellent choice for building pool cues, archery bows, or knife handles.

Tigerwood has excellent weathering and rot resistant properties making it a good candidate for outdoor furniture.

*Although we try and make sure all the boards include some amount of black striping - often it is not possible on small pieces and instead you will receive the beautiful orange-brown / russett colouring that Tigerwood is known for.

In order to offer more protective packing for shipping - our lengths are often 1/4" less than sizes listed. Need a wider width or longer length? Please email us for a quote. Custom millwork charges will apply.

We will provide you with a 1/4" thick x 3" wide or 4-3/4" wide x 24" long, high quality thin board! These boards are flat, straight, and ready for sanding.

  • 1/4" x 3" x 24"
  • 1/4" x 4-3/4" x 24" (set of 2 pieces)

Working with Thin Lumber

4" and wider thins are resawn from a board thick enough to produce 2 pieces and then planed down to a finished thickness of 1/4". This milling process releases tensions in the board and may well induce slight cupping and/or bowing in the finished piece. These movements are normal and not considered "defects". They will not be grounds for a return or refund.
