Canarywood – From South America (Panama down to southern Brazil). Wood is yellow to orange in color, typically variegated with light to dark red streaking. It has a medium to high luster. It can be somewhat variable in density; it is mostly a hard, heavy and strong wood. Works very easily with both hand and power tools and finishes very smoothly. With its beautiful grain and stability, Canarywood is used largely for fine furniture and cabinetry. It is also used for boat parts such as keel, planking and trim plus many other uses such as heavy construction timbers, flooring as well as being sliced for veneers.
Tropical Walnut - (or Peruvian Walnut) Source trees are spread throughout Central America and the northern part of South America. Heartwood tends to be darker than temperate walnut species, with a deep chocolate brown color, sometimes with a purplish hue. Tropical Walnut is more expensive than domestic species of Walnut. While you won't find a lot of antique furniture in the U.S. made of Peruvian walnut, the wood has been used extensively in Central and South America for furniture and cabinetry. It also makes excellent interior trim, furniture, cabinetry, veneers, musical instruments, and flooring, though it is on the soft side for high traffic flooring.
