Snakewood Half Log Sections
Piratinera guianensis
This lumber is from Guatemala but the tree is found in Mexico, and all through Central and South America. The heartwood is pink to brick red with the sapwood lighter in color. Weight ranges from 35 to 50 lbs./cubic foot. It has a medium texture, is easy to work and is strong and durable. It has long been used for flooring, furniture, and ship building.
These half logs have defects common to the species, i.e. cracks and heart checks. There is still a lot of usable material though.
