Snakewood is an incredibly beautiful wood considered by experts to be the World's rarest commercially available species. The part sold as snakewood is really the heartwood of the larger tree. It has reds and blacks in a traditional Viper pattern. This is undoubtedly where it acquired the name Snakewood. Much of the wood has inferior or no figure, but the small amount that has attractive figure is exported. The wood is difficult to work and dry wood can still check if it is heated while sanding.
