Black Boy: Botanical name: Xanthorrhoea  spp.

The Jarrah tree can reach a height of 40 meters and the diameter of the trunk can reach 1.5 meters. The wood is very resistant against insects. It is used in the ship-building industry, for musical instruments, for furniture and floors.

After 6 months of waiting we finally received approx. 25 cubic meters Red Heart logs with diameters from 25 - 40 cm and between 1,60 and 4,00 m length.

Red Heart is growing in south Mexico. Directly after sawing the wood has a bright red color.

But how most of the strong coloured timber, also Red Heart looses the colour through UV irradiation and turns into pink. 

There are ways to slow dowm and prevent the UV irradiation with UV blockers.

Red Heart is an even grown and pretty dense wood, so it is nice to work with and surfaces can be brought out very well.
