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.

Perfect S4S board, great colour and grain.
This is a great source of tigerwood to try machining it. Still a five star deal in my book.
The wood we received was beautiful, the same as all the other wood we have bought in the past. Thanks so much.
Got this for my next guitar build. Super happy. Very fair price too! Will definitely try again.
These bits are fabulous. I make smoking pipes with very narrow tolerances and have experienced other sharp bits wandering when drilling along the grain. I’ll buy Famag bits again
