Tulipwood Specialty Lumber / Hardwoods

Striking, rare, and full of visual interest, Tulipwood is an exotic hardwood prized for its vivid colouration and fine texture. We offer select Tulipwood lumber and turning blanks ideal for fine furniture, veneers, inlays, musical instruments, and artistic woodworking projects that demand standout beauty and precision. Native to South America, Tulipwood is known for its creamy pink to reddish hues, often highlighted by bold streaks of red, purple, or salmon. Despite its density, it machines well, holds detail beautifully, and finishes to a lustrous, polished surface—making it a favourite among luthiers, turners, and fine woodworkers. As a proudly Canadian company, Windsor Plywood specializes in rare and hard-to-find wood species, backed by knowledgeable, one-on-one service. Whether you're crafting a custom inlay or a luxurious accent piece, Tulipwood adds a bold, elegant touch to your most refined creations.
