Pau Rosa Wood for Woodturning and Carving

Pau Rosa is a dense and elegant wood prized for its deep reddish-pink tone and bold grain. With a density of 1100 kg/m³, it offers excellent dimensional stability and takes fine, polished finishes—though it demands sharp tools and confident technique.

Native to Mozambique and botanically known as Swartzia fistuloides, it's ideal for mouthpieces, tops, carved figures, turned handles, or decorative bowls. Best suited for experienced hands, it rewards careful prep. You’ll find strong chisels, precision knives, and color-enhancing oils in our store to work it properly.
