Some of the domestic hardwoods sold by Internet Lumber include walnut, black cherry, ash and birch. They also have a number of figured woods, such as birdseye, curly and quilted maple. Figured woods refers to the lively pattern, or figure, that emerges from deviations in the wood grain. One of the best figured woods in North America is the birdseye maple. The flecks that can be found throughout this wood resulted from the unusual arrangement of buds that grew inside the tree. This distortion is most commonly found in sugar maples.
The large number of exotic wood species comes from all over the world, including Africa, South America, Europe, the Far East and Australia. All of the exotic hardwood lumber sold through Internet Lumber is FAS or equivalent, unless it has otherwise been noted. The lumber varieties are very different and include woods of unique colors, grains and patterns.
A few of the exotic species that they have available include bloodwood and cocobolo. Bloodwood is a richly colored hardwood that most often has a deep red color. In general, the color is fairly consistent between each board, making it easy to create a uniform look. And, unlike other woods, bloodwood will not brown over time or bleed when finished.
