Blue Mahoe 41to46
Hard to find blue mahoe in small lumber and knife blank sizes. These are stabilized wood, done professionally by a very reliable process. The color will stay fairly colorfast for a long time.
We can no longer get this wood, as the only supply available seems to be low quality. If it becomes available again we’ll carry it again. Last shipment was 2018.
$15.00 – $32.00
Blue Mahoe 1-20
Blue Mahoe stabilized pieces. Blue mahoe has been nearly impossible to get for 6 years and there is not anything on the horizon for new stock at this time. These pieces will look different once you cut into them but they were actually dyed blue to make the color more long lasting and the color of blue can be almost black/blue to a very light blue. The density of wood in different areas causes the variegated color effect.
NOTE THAT NUMBERS BELOW ARE SOMEWHAT OUT OF ORDER. BE SURE TO PICK THE RIGHT NUMBER Sorry!
$10.50 – $11.00
Desert Ironwood 360to365
Desert Ironwood, dried pieces with some special grain in these.
$16.00 – $27.00
Desert Ironwood 366to377
Desert Ironwood from the Sonoran Desert.
The first six are very good pieces that all have some kind of figure in them. Some of it is best seen when moving a polished piece under the light, so there really is no extra charge for that, just an interesting extra feature.
The Second group of six have really extraordinary lines and figured grain, very few pieces of ironwood look as good as these.
$20.00 – $36.00
Amboyna Burl 339to342
Amboyna Burl in the difficult to find longer sizes. It takes a very large slab with fewer defects to allow us to cut something like this .
Pieces like 339 may be seen at prices over $300 in some cases, but our costs don’t force us to charge anything like that.
Dried pieces. All came from the same slab, and that slab covers numbers: 300 to 342.
$68.00 – $189.00
Amboyna Burl 337to338
Two bowl blanks in dried Amboyna Burl. 337 doesn’t remind me of any pieces I have cut in the past, this area of the slab seems to have a bit of what would normally be called Xylay figure that is found in rare pieces of Afzelia. 338 is a high figure piece with natural edge that will allow a nice bowl just as it is, but will also allow other choices if you cast it with acrylic. Both are heavily discounted.
Cut from same slab as pieces 300 to 342.
$41.50
