Erythroxylon mexicanum The bright red background of Redheart is host to a number of very interesting streaks and closed knots. It is smooth and tight grained and sands to a nice workable surface. Redheart does not tear out when planed and is nice for scrollsawing. In many ways it is similar to Bloodwood in character and color without the possibility of allergic reaction from the dust. Source region: Mexico/Central America.
