Logwood is a tropical hardwood derived from the tree Haematoxylum campechianum, native to Central America and the Caribbean. It is known for its deep red dye, which has been historically used in textiles and other materials. The wood itself is dense and durable, making it suitable for various applications, including furniture and flooring. The dye extracted from logwood is often referred to as logwood dye and is prized for its rich color. In addition to its use in dyeing, logwood has also been utilized in traditional medicine and as a source of tannins for leather production.
