Imported Woods

The beautiful textures and colors of imported woods create an extraordinary look that can't be imitated by the domestic woods we often rely on. While many lumber yards have piles of domestic wood, they often don't carry a large selection of imported woods. Internet Lumber, however, has over 30 species of exotic wood, plus a dozen domestic varieties to choose from.

Any fine craftsman knows that to create amazing pieces of furniture, cabinets and flooring, you need to utilize different types of wood. After all, even furniture created from the most beautiful imported wood will begin to look dull if no variations are ever explored.

A few of the imported woods that can be found at Internet Lumber include African blackwood and kingwood. African blackwood, also known as mpingo, is a flowering plant that grows in the dry regions of Africa. This dense wood polishes to a glossy shine, and it is often used for constructing musical instruments. The color of African blackwood varies, but it generally ranges between deep purplish-black to black. It has become a very popular and exclusive product loved by woodworkers the world over.

Kingwood is used almost solely for making inlays on exquisite pieces of furniture, though it is also popular in cabinet making. Kingwood is distinguishable by its purple coloring. In fact, it is sometimes referred to as violet wood because of the color of its markings. This Brazilian wood is a true rosewood related to Brazilian Rosewood, Tulipwood, Blackwood, and Cocobolo.
