Brazilian Lacewood for Woodturning and Carving

Brazilian Lacewood for Woodturning and Carving

Brazilian Lacewood stands out for its unique grain pattern, often compared to scales or lace. With a density of 770 kg/m³, it offers great stability and balanced workability for both turning and carving. It cuts and sands easily, and oil finishes highlight its natural figure beautifully.

Native to Tropical South America and known botanically as Roupala brasiliensis, it’s ideal for decorative bowls, turned handles, small boxes, or light-catching reliefs. Its medium hardness and open grain call for sharp tools and attention to grain direction. In our store, you’ll find versatile chisels, grain-enhancing oils, and fine abrasives to bring out its full beauty.
