Machaerium scleroxylon, also known as pau ferro or Santos rosewood, is a deciduous tree with a spiny nature and compact crown. It is sought after for its appealing timber, making it a popular choice for furniture and guitar making. It is also commonly cultivated for ornamental purposes and as a pioneer species in woodland restoration. Pau ferro has similar tonal qualities to genuine rosewoods, but is softer and lighter in color. Due to its use as a rosewood substitute, it has been found to cause allergic reactions in workers. Despite this, it continues to be used in furniture production.
