Kingwood (Dalbergia cearensis) certainly earns its name. Its quiet but strong colouring, ranging from dark red to brown, gives it a very sophisticated appearance. Kingwood grows in Brazil, most commonly in the Bahia, Ceará, Paraiba and Pernambuco regions. When exposed to sunlight over time its colour will darken. Camatillo is a special type of kingwood which occurs in Mexico. This wood is velvety with a very warm, soft appearance. Kingwood is a popular choice for musical instrument and furniture making, with demand for it high.
