Tigerwood is a very hard, strong, and durable wood that is excellent for indoor and outdoor projects!
You may also recognize this wood as Goncalo Alves. The heartwood is a nice medium reddish brown with dark brown or black streaking. Tigerwood darkens with age and typically has a wavy or interlocked grain. It is commonly used in a variety of larger projects such as furniture, cabinets, and flooring. It is also an excellent choice for building pool cues, archery bows, or knife handles.
Tigerwood has excellent weathering and rot resistant properties making it a good candidate for outdoor furniture.
*Although we try and make sure all the boards include some amount of black striping - often it is not possible on small pieces and instead you will receive the beautiful orange-brown / russett colouring that Tigerwood is known for.
In order to offer more protective packing for shipping - our lengths are often 1/4" less than sizes listed. Need a wider width or longer length? Please email us for a quote. Custom millwork charges will apply.

Awesome Canadian Laser Wood (and acrylic) Supplier!
LOVE everything I've ordered! It's all great quality, nice and flat, great selection and perfect for laser projects. Highly recommend KJP! Please continue to carry Houston Acrylics as well- love their acrylic colours and supporting their small business as well. The pattern ply are fun and so nice too. Thanks KJP! This Canadian laser user is so happy to have found your shop.
Juts ordered this....be warned this is not a true walnut veneer
I have ordered the craft 1/8" walnut plywood from KJP with great results, but this 'TruFlat' stuff is not real walnut. In any case, looks very different from the other laserable walnut mdf-veneered product I have from Trotec, as well as the other craft ply walnut from KJP- which is good for lasering, btw. Order a sample first. It is very flat tho, but lookswise its not what we were looking for... not going to get this again.
