The Teblor used bloodwood to make bloodswords, which were maintained by rubbing blood-oil into them. The oil would harden the grain and replace the wood. Any damage would repair itself as blood-oil clung to its memory.House of Chains, Chapter 1, US SFBC p.48 
The swords were hard enough to break even Aren steel.House of Chains, Chapter 2, US SFBC p.134

Teblor sometimes wore armour made of plates cut from bloodwood and similarly infused with oil.House of Chains, Chapter 2, US SFBC p.128

When bloodwood trees toppled in the forest, the Edur's Letherii slaves would be sent to drag it back to their village.
