Character / Color
This hardwood from Chile creates an exotic atmosphere. The colors have

the wood is adorned by dark greenish black stripes, which, with their
irregular distribution and variable widths, produce lively color contrasts.
On the longitudinal plane, vessel lines and whitish cell contents
determine the wood texture.
