buy ***Brazilian Tulipwood***
Brazilian Tulipwood was first brought to France in the 18th century and quickly became a favourite of Kings Louis XV and XVI. First used in the construction of cabinetry, it became increasingly popular as a wood for bandings, inlay, decorative turnings and marquetry. The introduction of the rosewoods changed the historical design of furniture and interiors. Out were designs based on straight lined geometry and in was the use of rosewoods distinctive colours and interesting and active figuring. Brazilian Tulipwood was an important player in this visual shift in design.
This is a very beautiful wood. The heartwood is a pinkish to salmon colour, overlain with streaks of yellow, red-purple and rose. the streaks can be perpendicular giving the wood a somewhat linear appearance or they can be quite variegated and random. Tulipwood is very lustrous which adds to its appearance. The sapwood is a yellowish white which is sharply demarcated from the heart.
This wood's popularity continued until demand exceeded popularity and it became scarce and difficult to source. Today, woodworkers will encounter it as small turning squares, blocks and pen blanks. Occasionally, small lumber is available, mostly 4/4 lumber in small widths. It's also available as a veneer and as a component of decorative bandings.
Given its rarity, Brazilian Tulipwood is expensive and as mentioned, only available is smaller dimensions. Typically, it is used for small projects and turnings, pool cues, pen blanks, chessmen and decorative turnings.
