Granadillo wood is a dense, hardwood that comes from several species of trees in the Machaerium genus, primarily found in Central and South America. Known for its striking appearance, granadillo displays a rich reddish-brown to deep brown color, often with darker streaks or a hint of purple, giving it a beautiful, variegated pattern. The wood has a fine, even texture and a natural luster that enhances its visual appeal.

Granadillo is highly valued for its durability, strength, and resistance to wear, making it an excellent choice for fine furniture, cabinetry, and high-end musical instruments, such as woodwind and string instruments. It also has a moderate to high natural oil content, contributing to its smooth finish and longevity. The wood is difficult to work with due to its density, but it polishes to a smooth, glass-like surface, making it a favorite for artisans who appreciate its beauty and challenge.
