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.
