Chechen (Metopium Brownei) is a striking species with colors that are highly varied—red, orange and brown contrasted with darker stripes of blackish brown. Because of the coloration it is sometimes referred to as Caribbean rosewood. Overall it is easy to work, with the exception of planing the interlocking grain. Chechen has become increasingly popular with veneer manufacturers, furniture craftsmen and guitar luthiers as it is a very durable, easy-to-work and -finish wood that is moderately priced for an exotic import.

Features:


  • Excellent for box makers and turners
  • Moderately hard species, that works easily and finishes well
  • Responds well to hand and machine tools
  • Due to interlocking grain, planing is very difficult, and may result in tear-out
  • Quality, kiln-dried stock
  • Native to Central America and Mexico

Specifications:

  • Thickness: 1-1/2"
  • Width: 1-1/2"
  • Length: 6"

What's Included:

  • (1) Chechen 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 6" Wood Turning Stock

Notes:

  • Wood is a product of nature, and as such, no two pieces are alike to start with, the same wood growing in different locales can vary greatly even though it is the exact same species.
