SOUTH AMERICAN PEARWOOD (also called Timborana) is one of our most exotic and most stable hardwoods. Initially, the wood is fairly light and golden. With age, the colors range from gold to reddish pink with burgundy tones. South American Pearwood is available in both First Grade and Character Grade. The type of finish used will have a large impact on the later appearance of this wood. Water-based finishes retain more of the natural color of the wood. Oil-based finishes will add more salmon tones and will darken over time.
Hardness: 2,100 lbf/sq*.
