Shopping for a new wood floor and confused by names?  Names such as Brazilian Koa?  Koa is a wood from Hawaii, but some refer to Tigerwood as Koa.  Often times it seems some cannot resist to urge to “create” a name in the hopes of relating to the consumer, while confusing their competitors.  True common names for Tigerwood include Muiracatiara and Goncalo Alves, named after the man who discovered the tree – Goncalo Alves.  The list goes on and on.  Another good one is Brazilian Oak which can refer to Tauari or now more commonly, Amendoim.  Although Tauari grows in Brazil, Amendoim is not found in any significant volumes at all, but rather next door in Paraguay.  Neither of which has any relation to any Oak.  Tauari is normally stained and Amendoim is a unique exotic with swirly grain and a tight knot structure which separates it from all other exotics.  This madness only serves to confuse rather than to educate.

Don’t worry, we are here to help and can dispel any myths or fairy tales you have been told.  Your head need not be spinning, The Woodman is here to help!
