Poisonwood

Poisonwood is often referred to as “Caribbean Rosewood” due to its regal color tone and grain. It's unique color ranges from an amber dark chocolate to a pale or tanned yellow, often with dark and light-brown streaks as well as thin red streaks throughout. The wood has great natural luster as does Tigerwood and Granadillo, so it will shine on the field on a sunny day. This is a VERY popular wood for fine furniture, but also has the strength and flexibility for physical use.

Poisonwood got it's name because the tree and raw lumber contain toxic sap, which turns black and causes severe skin reactions that burn through flesh.  Don't worry though, once cut and kiln dried the wood is perfectly safe to use on the field and work with. Due to the dangers that loggers and wood suppliers must go through to sell poisonwood, it is a VERY RARE wood, so therefore it is sold at "top tier" prices and is very hard to find.
