Face Grain Construction
General Description: Tigerwood is a boldly striped species which has an orange/reddish brown background with wide dark brownish black striping, which can be compared to the striping found in “vanilla fudge” ice cream.
Janka Hardness: 2160
Color: Tigerwood, as the name suggests, is a species which exhibits a wide range of color/striping. The striping can vary from fine lines to bold “brush strokes”. The background color can range from light tans to darker orange browns.
Color Change: Tigerwood exhibits a large degree of color change with a pronounced darkening of the background under the stripes from an orangey tan to a deep reddish brown color, which then in turn makes the striping less contrasting and more subtle.
Grain: Dense, straight and smooth grain blended with occassional curly or burl grain and bold brush stroke grain.
Finishing: Tigerwood finishes very smoothly, and takes a high polish.
Characteristics: The wood often has a striking figure caused by irregular dark longitudinal bands. The wood weathers well and is highly resistant to moisture absorption. It is also durable and provides great wear-resistance.
