Get QuoteWhat Is Tigerwood?
Resilient and striking exotic wood known for its dark striped veins and gorgeous rich reddish-orange foundation is Tigerwood. Exotic woods include Tigerwood under numerous names: Brazilian koa, Congo wood, African walnut, Courbaril, Bototo, Zorrowood, and Muiracatiara.
Three tree species can be referred to as “tigerwood: Goncalo alves from Brazil, Lovoa trichilioides from Africa, or Coula edulis from tropical western Africa. Though all of these kinds are evergreen, they grow best in tropical or subtropical climates. Tigerwood trees have the same amazing grain pattern regardless of the area, even if their color may vary.
Often found in the higher layers of the forest canopy, tigerwood trees can grow taller than eighty feet. Still, they also abound in lower tree canopies. There are no particular soil demands, hence the growing popularity has led several nations to set export restrictions to stop too high harvesting.
Features of Tigerwood
Tigerwood, which is prized for its heavy weight and dense density, can grow to a Janka rating of 2160 depending on where it is planted. Compared to red oak, which has a Janka rating of just 1210, this is 67% more tough. Tigerwood is a popular material for outdoor applications and a variety of wood products, including flooring, veneers, and furniture, because of its inherent resistance to rot and decay as well as its capacity to ward off mildew and fungus. Its eye-catching appearance gives the finished products a particular stylishness.
Tigerwood takes well to air drying, yet in very hot and humid environments it can check and distort. It is resistant to shrinking and shifting after it dries. Tigerwood is used to create durable, size-resistant items that hold up over time. Brazilian tigerwood is well-known for its exquisite colors, which range from pale orange to a rich reddish-brown, and for its striations, which can be thin or thick. It seems almost greasy because of how shiny it is.
Because Brazilian hardwood is so durable and dent-resistant, it is often used for flooring. Because of its remarkable coloring, it is evaluated differently when compared to other hardwood species for flooring applications. Small flaws and hardly perceptible color variations are categorized as “ordinary.” Tigerwood is categorized as “clear” and has stripes that are either dark black or brown, with a base color that is deep orange with hints of pink.
What is the purpose of Tigerwood?
Inside carpeting, musical instruments, and premium furniture are just a few of uses for Tigerwood hardwood. Its resistance to wear and repel water makes it perfect for outdoor uses including boats, shutters, deck planks, and outdoor furniture. Its pleasing grain patterns also fit for ornamental objects.
Using Tigerwood Lumber
As long as proper hand tools are used, Tigerwood is considered as somewhat easy to work with even if it is hard. Carbide tips or bits are advised since cutting edges of this type of wood species wear down faster than others. Drill holes before fastening screws or nails to tigerwood as well.
Given the difficulty involved, professional preparation is required especially for large projects like flooring for sanding this strong, rare wood. Tigerwood ages naturally on its own, without chemical treatments; it can also be coated for extra strength. The sunshine changes the hue of the wood. The color of the wood is getting darker, several people have observed. Some claim it gets brighter.
