Brazilian Cherry heartwood is salmon red to
orange-brown when fresh, but becomes a darker
reddish brown when seasoned. Sapwood is
gray-white. The grain is mostly interlocked with a
medium to coarse texture. It can have high color
variation. Brazilian Cherry is very hard but can
scratch easily. To prevent white spots or specks, a
clear oil sealer or neutral stain should be buffed
in before polyurethane.
Brazilian
Chestnut can vary in color from light yellowish
tan with green overtones to an almost blackish
brown. When freshly milled this hardwood exhibits a
large range of coloration which generally darkens
over time. It can be difficult to finish. A
moisture-cure urethane sealer and a waterborne
topcoat can be successful.

Walnut can vary in color from light yellowish

Santos Mahogany is a deep reddish brown color
with striped figuring and an even, very fine
texture. It is quite hard and can have a
problematic oil residue. This issue can be
eliminated with a 100% pure solvent before the
sealer is applied. There is some
respiratory/allergic reaction potential with certain
individuals.
