Pernambuco WOOD

Pernambuco or Pau-Brazil, Caesalpinia echinata, is a slow-growing, medium sized tree of the Leguminosae family. The sound qualities the Pernambuco wood produced is much favoured by musicians and also because its physical qualities make it an ideal material for crafting cambered bowsticks.

Two hundred and fifty years after it was first introduced, no comparable substitute for Pernambuco is known to bowmakers or musicians the world over. Its combination of rigidity, flexibility, density, beauty and ability to hold a fixed curve are properties which make Pernambuco a unique material for bowmaking.
