The wood features a unique combination of colors ranging from reddish-brown to yellowish-brown, with dark streaks that resemble tiger stripes, hence its name. This distinctive grain pattern adds visual interest and character to finished pieces, making them stand out among other wood types. Brazilian Tigerwood's moderate density and fine texture make it highly workable, allowing for precise shaping and detailing essential for crafting intricate knife scales and pen blanks. Moreover, its inherent durability and resistance to wear ensure longevity and reliability in these applications. Craftsmen seeking to create eye-catching and distinctive knives and pens often turn to Brazilian Tigerwood for its striking appearance and exceptional workability.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Arial\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Arial\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cli\u003eCommon Name(s): Goncalo Alves, Tigerwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScientific Name: Astronium spp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistribution: Native to South America, particularly Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTree Size: Can reach heights of 100 to 130 feet with trunk diameters of 3 to 5 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAverage Dried Weight: Approximately 57 lbs\/ft3 (910 kg\/m3)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecific Gravity: 0.91\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJanka Hardness: 2,170 lbf (9,650 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModulus of Rupture: 22,510 lbf\/in2 (155.1 MPa)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElastic Modulus: 2,080,000 lbf\/in2 (14.34 GPa)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrushing Strength: 10,670 lbf\/in2 (73.5 MPa)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShrinkage: Radial: 5.6%, Tangential: 9.3%, Volumetric: 14.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#374151\" face=\"Arial\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space-collapse: preserve;\"\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003eAs always, I select and hand cut each blank from larger stock.
