African Blackwood 1to7

African Blackwood is a genuine rosewood. Normally used for making musical instruments and has great working properties. Can be used for many things including ornamental turnery. The color of this wood is not black, despite the name. Colors are really a variation of dark violet and browns. Sometimes when finished it looks black.

Afzelia Burl A-E

Super hard to find in this quality and dry, virtually gone from the market. Becoming a restricted wood as far as the ones from Africa go, these are from Thailand though.

Afzelia Burl J-M

These pieces are completely dried. Super hard to find in this quality and dry, virtually gone from the market.

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.  

Australian Blackwood 1-6

Wonderful dried and figured pieces that look just like Koa, at a much lower price. These all came from a very large slab. It was part of the outside of a large tree and every bit of it was highly figured. Some Australian blackwood looks more like the photo at the top of this page, but this slab produced pieces that look so much like koa I cannot tell them apart from Koa, and I cannot guarantee that this isn't really koa that was mis-identified as Aussie Blackwood.

Australian Blackwood 21-37

Australian Blackwood A-C

Wonderful dried and figured pieces that look just like Koa, at a fraction of the price. These all came from a very large slab. It was part of the outside of a large tree and every bit of it was figured. Some Australian blackwood looks more like the photo at the top of this page, but this slab produced pieces that look so much like koa I cannot tell them apart from Koa, and I cannot guarantee that this isn't really koa that was mis-identified as Aussie Blackwood.

Bethlehem Olivewood 1 to 12

Bethlehem Olivewood 1.5x1.5x6's

Bethlehem Olivewood from Israel. All pieces are dried. These are cut from branches of trees grown in the Bethlehem area. No trees are killed to make these squares because these are from wood that is pruned for the health of the tree. Bethlehem Olivewood can contain small defects in some cases. A certificate of authenticity is available, if desired tell us in the comment section when you checkout.

Black & White Ebony 423-429

Really tough to find this wood sold dried, usually it is green. These have been tested to be 12% or less with a moisture meter that adjusts for the species, other meters don't work well. NOTES: some of the pieces have been smeared with super glue clear/black which was then sanded off

Black Ebony 410to415

Dried Black Ebony. Shown bare wood for an accurate view. We are one of the only sellers anywhere that will put photos online of ebony without a darkening finish. You can see the finished color by looking at the end which has a finish on it. See notes on photos. These are generally rare pieces, and pieces like 410 cannot be imported as the last import of black thicker pieces that we can find was in 2008. We cannot replace black pieces over 1.5 inches thick. Pieces may be sprayed with a clear finish to protect them during shipping.
