CANCHARANA

Cabralea cangerana
Cabralea cangerana of the family Meliaceae. This is a South American wood, also known as cangerana, with a medium texture (sometimes a bit coarse) and straigh grain (sometimes a bit wavy), moderately heavy but easy to work and finishes smoothly. Widely available in Brazil, where it is often used in carvings. Althought it does have a bit of a color range, the brighter red in some of the pics below is unlikely.
