Curly Black Walnut - This variety is called curly because of the wavy figured pattern that appears perpendicular to the growth rings. Except in stump wood, the curly figure seems to be completely random. Like plain Black Walnut, it is a heavy and dense wood with silica in it that can make it difficult to saw and plane. But its texture is even and it can be polished to a high or lustrous sheen.
Canarywood - Canarywood (Botanical: Centrolobium spp) is an exotic wood that 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. A medium to large well-formed tree; generally up to 100 feet high with diameters of 30-50''. Its big leaves are imparipinnate growing 7 to 17 opposite to alternate leaflets. The flowers are borne in terminal panicles and are yellow or purplish. The large samara-like pod has 1 to 3 seeds and looks similar to a chestnut bur sporting wings like a gigantic maple seed. The Canarywood tree grows in Latin America; Brazil, and Bolivia.
Uses - 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.
