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. |
