dyewood

It is used as a dyewood, and also for ramrods, violin bows and turner's work.

It had come to protect the boats which landed the men who cut the Campeachy dyewood.

The natural products of the country—ivory, rubber, palm-oil, dyewoods—and many other native unmanufactured articles are exchanged for these goods.

A few days later they reached Havana, where they sold the dyewood and had arranged to meet Don Martin Sarmiento, whose affairs occasionally necessitated a visit to Cuba.

It is the most important natural dyewood at present employed, being largely used for dyeing dark blues and black on silk, wool and cotton.
