Lacewood Hardwood Lumber

All lumber prices shown are per board foot, unless otherwise noted.

Color:

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.

Grain:

Has a fairly coarse and uneven texture due to the difference in densities between the regular wood tissue and the rays. The grain is usually straight.

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.

Physical properties:

Lacewood, which gets its name from the lacelike pattern of light-colored medullary ray flecks against a background grain that can range from pink to orange-tinged tan to brown. But during its colorful history, a number of different species have received the “lacewood” label, making it difficult to determine the wood’s true origin.
