Lignum Vitae (Bulnesia sarmientoi) heartwood is dark greenish brown to almost black and sharply demarcated from the pale yellow or cream-colored sapwood. The texture is very fine; grain is strongly interlocked; a slight scent is evident when warmed or rubbed. It has a characteristic oily feel due to the resin content that may be as high as one-fourth of the air-dry weight making it difficult to glue. With sharp tools and patience, it turns well but due to its high resin content, sandpaper will quickly clog up. The resin is also responsible for its poor gluing properties and synthetic glues will get the best results. Common uses for Lignum Vitae include tool handles, mallet heads, bearings, bushings, bandsaw blocks, pulley wheels and turned objects.Features:Known to be one of the hardest and heaviest woodsSuitable for outdoor use and resistant to insect attackPolishing is the only effective finishing treatmentNative to Central America and northern South AmericaSpecifications:Thickness: 3/4"Width: 1-1/2"Length: 12"What's Included:(1) Lignum Vitae - 3/4" x 1-1/2" x 12" - Dimensional LumberNotes:Wood is a product of nature, and as such, no two pieces are alike to start with, the same wood growing in different locales can vary greatly even though it is the exact same species.Due to the nature of wood movement, shrinkage and expansion are possible.
