Balata, also known as Bulletwood, is a dense Amazonian wood species, long prized for making violin bows.
Its rosy hue with brownish undertones and remarkable acoustic qualities make it a sought-after tonewood.
Very hard and naturally rot-resistant, Balata also proves to be an ideal material for outdoor use: decking boards, siding, but also for furniture, musical instruments, and cutlery.
