Pau Ferro

Bobgunnia spp.
Also known as |
Ironheart | Pau Ferro | Pau Rosa | Snake Bean
Pau Ferro Lumber @ Rare Woods USA

Loosely translated as “Ironwood”, Pau Ferro is the common name for a variety of lumber species.  The East African variant we have here (also known as Pau Rosa to some) has a glorious color palette. A dark brown base with reds, oranges and yellow tones – it reminds us of the African sunset…

It is hard and heavy to work, but the vibrant colors make it worth the effort!  Pau Ferro / Pau Rosa was originally part of the Swartzia genus, but it was reclassified as Bobgunnia in the last 10-15 years.  It turns and finishes well.

 

Not listed in the CITES Appendices or on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

Why We Love This Wood

Have you seen the gorgeous, deep red/purplish coloring on Pau Ferro / Pau Rosa.
