Here's 4 photo of the drawer fronts. The first 3 are the drawer fronts but they still need the have the finish sprayed on. The 4th picture is a couple finished door so you can see the finial color of the wood.

Blood wood is really dense stuff, hard as a rock, and will dull carbide blades fairly rapidly...

 

I used some on my wood floor  last year. Here's a picture of it during construction.

 

It;s a Walnut field, with a White Oak border and Bloodwood accent, then a Brazilian Cherry inside field

Those are looking great Richard. They really pop with the finish on them. Boy they have some really nice grain in those. You have done a great job on those cabinets.

 

Kudo's to you.

 

Richard that is awesome to say the least. Very beautiful wood and finish. I may be the only one not familiar with blood wood. Where does it come from? Is it from north america or is it imported. Where can it be purchased from and is it a hard wood. It does make beautiful cabinets.

Simply gorgeous! I love the way Bloodwood sands and finishes. The only downside is the fine red dust that gets everywhere!

Kudos to you as well Doug! That is an absolutely beautiful floor! Craftsmanship at its finest.

Looking really nice!

I agree it is very dense and hard. Here is a cutting board I made with some bloodwood and maple.

 

 

I may have to may another one Rich and send it your way to put on the counter. That one sold already.

Gorgeous work! Bloodwood is from South American. It's hard, stable and won't lose its red color over time (it will deepen in color). It is tough on tools, and, unless you know how you will react (which would mean breathing the dust, which I don't recommend), you need to wear a mask when cutting or sanding the wood.

How about a bloodwood rocker? Hmmm

awesome! very awesome!  lots n lots o storage

Yeah!!!

Beautiful job and beatuful wood. I like working with it, it works easy, don't burn like you think it would and can have some great markings in it. I wish it would stay that color. All I have worked with eventually turned so dark that it was hard to tell what wood it is.

Heh heh heh.. I could make a bloodwood rocker if anyone had 8/4" and 12/4" stock.. That would be georgeous..

What are we waiting for Randall? Can you find some 8/4 for us!

I'm sure you guys could make beautiful rocker from blood wood but, the average weight of cherry is 2.8 lbs per board foot. The average weight of blood wood is 5.5 lbs per board foot. You're going to need a fork lift to move them around. LOL
