Description
Tarara flooring, also known as Canary Wood, is a colorful exotic located in the forests of Brazil and Bolivia. Its heartwood color can be bright yellow to orange with long distinctive streaks of purple, red, and black, giving Tarara floors a very dramatic and exotic look. Tarara is durable and hard, but also rated as easy to work with, which is why, combined with its inherent attractiveness, it is often a choice for fine furniture makers. The grain of Tarara hardwood is irregular and interlocked, and it has a lustrous surface with a medium and uniform texture.
