New Woods
Bethlehem Olivewood Atoi
Olivewood from tree branches in Bethlehem Israel. Since they can only cut the branches (so the trees won’t be damaged), the wood does have some defects. We have glued these with superglue to minimize any defects that are inherent in all Bethlehem Olive Blanks.
Dried pieces. Certificate available, just request in the comments in the shopping cart when checking out.

Peroba Rosa (historical) 310to316
Peroba Rosa reclaimed from the large door jambs of a house in Brazil built in the 1860’s. The door jambs were full of holes and large nails/cracks but we cut these perfect pieces from around all the problem areas.
Some had this unusual patterning shown in these pen blanks. Note that the size of the shortest one is 5″ long and the longest in 6″ long.

Peroba Rosa (historical) 304to309
Taken from the large door jambs of a house built in the 1860’s. The house was in Brazil and contained this old growth wood. The door jambs were loaded with cracks and large nails but we have been able to cut these flawless pieces from around the problem areas. Unique offering!
$11.50 – $36.00
Peroba Rosa (historical) 300-303
These pieces of Peroba Rosa were cut from large door jambs that were in a house being torn down in Brazil. The house was built in the 1860’s. The door jambs were full of nails and cracks so we cut these flawless pieces wherever we could get free of the nails, etc. The wood has a deeper more saturated color than normal and is really nice to work. (Dried long ago before any of us were born!).
$11.00 – $19.00
Black & White Ebony 340to346
Rare dried pieces in Black and White Ebony. Most vendors sell wet, cracked, checked and rotted pieces at prices higher than this (up to double), these are far better than that and cheaper too! We took years to slow dry them and with the thick ones especially it is quite a challenge as they crack like crazy when drying in most cases. Once dry they are fairly stable with the one caveat that you should not overheat them when sanding as that can cause checking. We cut the good pieces out of larger boards to produce these. We do have some larger pieces with the defects in them if you are handy with glue/epoxy to make them whole again–email us if interested.
$21.00 – $205.00
Black & White Ebony 318to328
Rare pieces in this hard to find wood. These pieces are dried and do not have the usual defects most vendors sell them with. But always be aware that some extra care needs to be used for this wood. You can split or crack it if you overheat it while sanding, so please avoid that. It isn’t super sensitive but one good thing is that if you do have a small check forming you can use black superglue on the check and it actually adds to the look! It is the only wood I can think of where you can get away with that!
We did our best with pics, but unfortunately we could not do these pieces justice in photos . .
$10.00 – $16.00
Black & White Ebony 307to317
Rare Black & White ebony from Laos. Very hard to get currently and supplies are low all over. We have Dried these pieces over years and cut out pretty much all defects. It is common to sell these with cracks, these are better than what you usually see for sale.
$13.00 – $60.00
Black & White Ebony 300to306
Rare Black & White ebony from Laos. Very hard to get and currently no way to resupply.
Our pieces stand out because: They are dried, the cracks have been removed and pieces are cut straight. You will usually pay more online without getting any of these three important things !
$13.50 – $42.00
Black & White Ebony 205to210
Rare black and white ebony in high quality pieces without the rot, holes and cracks that they are usually sold with. These are dried, and after drying the high quality pieces are removed from much larger boards. The pieces of this quality are maybe 1/5 of the board on average after they are dried.
Some pieces had small spalted areas we hardened with superglue. They are solid pieces though.
Difficult to get and further supplies may not be possible for an unknown period of time.
$24.50 – $120.00
Black & White Ebony 200-204
Rare dried small board sections in Black & White Ebony. This wood has been hardly available for awhile now. The reason is that Laos has not allowed shipments to leave the country for many years. The wood is incredibly difficult to dry without defects, and in any case has many defects once it is dried. We cut these pieces around the defects which are always extensive. This is because the black lines have a harder density than the yellow/white heart wood and creates tension in the boards.
We are selling at a price that is lower than competitors who have boards for sale with a number of defects. If we sold defective boards these pieces could easily be 3-4 times as large as they are. (boards with the defects are available, if interested let us know they cost less but will have to be filled with epoxy, etc).
$84.00 – $240.00
