Suriname, a small yet vibrant country nestled in South America's northeastern coast, is a hidden gem in the world of tropical hardwoods. With over 90% of its land covered in forests, Suriname boasts a rich diversity of exotic woods that are both beautiful and durable. At Greenheart Suriname, we pride ourselves on offering a wide variety of these woods, each with its unique characteristics and benefits. Let's embark on a journey through the lush, verdant forests of Suriname to explore some of these exceptional hardwoods.
The Majestic Greenheart
Our namesake, Greenheart, is one of the most sought-after woods in Suriname. Known for its exceptional strength and resistance to decay, Greenheart is often used in applications where durability and longevity are paramount. From the pilings of marine structures to the frames of robust outdoor furniture, Greenheart stands up to the test of time and elements.
The Vibrant Purpleheart
The next stop on our journey brings us to the striking Purpleheart. As the name suggests, this wood boasts a vibrant, purplish hue that deepens with exposure to light. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Purpleheart is highly durable and resistant to decay and insects, making it a popular choice for fine furniture, flooring, and decorative inlays.
The Intricate Letterwood
Finally, we come to Letterwood, also known as Snakewood. This hardwood is named for its intricate grain pattern that often resembles the characters of an ancient script. With its high density and stunning patterns, Letterwood is often used for crafting musical instruments, fine furniture, and ornamental objects. It's a testament to the beauty that nature can create and a symbol of the rich biodiversity of Suriname's forests.
