Want a hardwood that lives up to the name exotic? Look no further than the bold and
elegant striping of Tigerwood. Like its namesake, Tigerwood combines beauty and strength
in one elegant hardwood. Commonly used for decking, this wood has superb stiffness,
strength, hardness, and durability. However, density and other mechanical properties
can vary widely depending on the growing site and source region. The name “Jobillo” is
sometimes used to refer to higher grades of Goncalo Alves among wood turners.
