Kingwood, native to South America, is primarily found in Brazil and Uruguay. It is a type of hardwood that is known for its distinctive colour and beautiful grain patterns. The heartwood of the tree is a deep, rich purple-brown colour, while the sapwood is a pale yellow or cream colour. The wood often has dramatic striping or veining patterns, which can range from fine and delicate to bold and striking. It is a dense, heavy wood that is known for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. It is native to South America, and is primarily found in Brazil and Uruguay.

Because of its beauty and durability, kingwood has been highly prized for centuries.
