Product Type: Bracelets

Mahogany sapwood is the pale side of a wood most people know as dark red, and the Cascade Cold Canyon bracelet from Everwood Original is strung from it. The 8 mm beads sit in a light pinkish cream with a faint grain, so the strand carries the softness of mahogany's outer wood without the depth of its heart. Each bead is 8 mm, about 0.31 inch, strung on black elastic stretch cord with a stainless steel accent bead.

  • Mahogany's pale side. Sapwood is the outer ring of the tree and sits far lighter than the red-brown heartwood mahogany is famous for.
  • Pink cream, not white. A faint warm cast keeps the beads from reading as bleached, so they show against white and sit with cream.
  • Light in the hand. Sapwood is less dense than heartwood, so the strand weighs less than a dark mahogany strand would.

Why Mahogany Sapwood Is Pale

A wooden bracelet cut from sapwood shows the living part of the tree, the outer layer that carried water up the trunk, and that layer is always paler than the core. In mahogany the difference is wide: the heartwood is the red-brown of old furniture and the sapwood is a pinkish cream. Beads cut from it keep that pale warmth, with a grain line showing here and there as a slightly darker thread.

Warm Cream Against Cool Colors

Pink-cream beads look their best beside cool colors, because the faint warmth in the wood reads against blue, gray and green and disappears against tan and brown. A navy shirt makes the strand look warm; a tan jacket makes it look like part of the sleeve. It is the reverse of a dark bead, which wants warm colors to stand against.

Mens Bead Bracelet with Little Weight

A mens bead bracelet in sapwood is one of the lightest wood strands, since the outer wood of a tree is less dense than its heart. On the wrist that reads as a band that barely registers, which suits anyone who takes bracelets off because they notice them. It comes in three sizes, S/M for a 6 to 7 inch wrist, M/L for 7 to 8 and L/XL for 8 to 9, and Everwood advises the larger size when your wrist sits on a boundary. A light strand can sit at the snug end of the range without the pressure a dense strand would give at the same fit.

Keeping the Warmth Even

Pale beads take skin oil, and pinkish cream shows it as a slow deepening on the inside of the loop. A weekly pass with a dry cloth keeps outside and inside within a shade of each other. Let sunscreen dry before you put the strand on, since open-grained pale wood soaks it up and holds a mark that a cloth will not lift.

Cold Canyon Sapwood on the Arm

Why is this mahogany so light in color? Because it is sapwood, the outer layer, which always sits paler than the heartwood core. The dark red people expect from mahogany is the core.

Do the beads have any grain showing? Faintly. A thin darker line runs through some beads where the growth rings cross them, but the strand reads as one pale color at arm's length.

Are sapwood beads softer than heartwood? Slightly, and lighter in weight. They take normal wear fine, but they mark more easily than ebony or rosewood if knocked hard against metal.
