Pau ferro (Machaerium spp.) is a wood of many names, and is sometimes called Morado, Caviuna—and because the wood is so similar in appearance and working properties to rosewood, it is also sometimes referred to as Bolivian or Santos rosewood. The wood has been used in various capacities as a substitute for the endangered Brazilian rosewood (Dalbergia nigra).
​
Although the wood is not technically in the Dalbergia genus, Pau Ferro (Machaerium species) is botanically very closely related to true rosewoods, both being subdivided within the Fabaceae family into the tribe Dalbergieae and even further into the subclade Dalbergia. Additionally, Pau Ferro contains the same sensitizing compounds found in rosewoods, it’s about as close to a true rosewood as a species can get without actually being a Dalbergia species.
