Lacewood Planks - 23 3/4" long
Scientific Name: Panopsis spp. (P. rubescens and P. sessilifolia)
Origin: Tropical South America
Average Weight: 36.2 lbs/ft3
Common Uses: Indoor. Veneer, cabinetry, fine furniture, musical instruments (guitars), and turned objects.
Color/Appearance: Has a very conspicuous flecking that gives this wood its namesake. The wood itself is a reddish brown with grey or light brown rays, which result in a lace pattern when quartersawn. Like other woods that exhibit the strongest figure in quartersawn pieces, (such as Sycamore), Lacewood has the most pronounced figure and displays the largest flecks when perfectly quartersawn; this is due to the wood’s wide medullary rays, whose layout can be seen the clearest when looking at the endgrain.
Workability: Overall a fairly easy wood to work with, taking glues, stains, and finishes well; though there may be some difficulty in planing, with tearout occurring. Some species of lacewood can also have a moderate blunting effect on cutting edges.
Density: Janka Hardness: 840 lbf - For comparison: White Pine 420 lbf – White Maple 1,190 lbf
