Redheart (Chakte Coc)

Redheart (Erythroxylum spp. and Simira spp.), or Chakte Coc, is a brilliantly red colored hardwood that grows from Southern Mexico down through Brazil and Paraguay.

Its red color tends to fade to to a darker reddish-brown as it ages and is exposed to sunlight, but the process can be slowed by using UV inhibiting finishes.

Redheart has a lovely fine grain which makes it great to work, turn, and finish.

Goosebay carries Redheart in 4/4 rough lumber as well as Live Edge slabs.
