Kingwood (wood)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kingwood is classic furniture wood, almost exclusively used for inlays on very fine furniture. It is purple with many fine darker stripes. It is yielded by Dalbergia cearensis, a smallish tree restricted to a small area in Brazil. Other woods yielded by the same genus are cocobolo, rosewood, tulipwood.
