Burma Blackwood

Burma Blackwood is an unusual rosewood from Southeast Asia. NOTE: AS of 2021 we know of no new supplies of this wood for several years.  ( 2018 seems to be the end of imports) We seem to be the only vendor that has any left currently and we don’t have much. It is very dense with an interesting grain that is hard to put into words. There are greys, blacks/browns, and even little bits of bluish color. The grain varies greatly from one piece to the next. Reputedly it is good for musical instrument making and detail work. A fascinating wood. The endgrain is also interesting. Click here for an endgrain photo.
