Country origin: Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Venezuela, Suriname,  Nicaragua, Mexico, Guatemala, & the Caribbean
Description: 
Brazilian Cherry wood floors, when first milled is a tan/salmon color w/black striping which turns a rich deep red color over time. This species is the most popular imported species given its inherent beauty, rich coloring and superior hardness. 
Color Range: Brazilian Cherry wood floor products can vary from yellowish hues to pink/reds to dark reds with black striping.  Quartered selection yields the most uniform look/color range. 
Color Change: Like domestic cherry, Brazilian Cherry wood floors will change dramatically over time from the yellow/tan/salmon color when freshly milled into a deep rich reddish color.  In direct sunlight,  the color change will occur within a few days. Out of sunlight,  it will oxidize slowly over six months. Water based finishes tend to retard the color change while oil based finishes enhance it.
