Cherry Burl AtoE
Black Cherry Burl from the Applachian area of the Southern USA. These are selected best, most cherry burl has much less impressive figure than these. These were dried in slab form over 3-5 years, then cut into these pieces. All of them have been glued in some way and basically they've been soaked in superglue from the outside. You might have to glue some areas on the inside, at least in some cases.

Desert Ironwood 1to7
These are odd pieces of desert ironwood we've had on the shelf for years. Each one is quite interesting with nice grain or even burl. Pieces 1, 2, 4, 5 have all be extensively glued over natural gaps, divets and other faults. We did a heck of a job on them, but you should expect that some gluing on the inside will be needed. Those pieces have a price that is at least 30% off the normal price. #3 has some burl on one side, and 6 and 7 are actual burl. All pieces were dried more then 10 years ago.

These thicker pieces have been fully slow dried over many years. A wood that is nice to work, has great figure and changes appearance from every light angle. This makes the full extent of the figure hard to show in photos, you really need a video for something like this. A favorite of woodturners and other woodworkers for many years. ALL are GG+/GG grade

Masur Birch CtoN
Masur Birch, (betula pendula) is a type of birch from Russia, Finland and Belarus mostly. It is also called Karelian Birch. The figure used to be thought of as beetle damage, but more recent research has shown it is actually a natural formation in these trees due to some unique DNA. Some logs are way better than others. These are carefully selected and then just the best parts are presented to you here after a long drying process. Dried pieces. Supply in future may be not possible because: Russia and Belarus are not trading partners and Finland doesn't allow lumber exports of these. These were cut at a special angle to get the very best figure. We get less total wood this way, but the results are about as good as they can be. See photos, most are in individual photos too.

Nepal Sandalwood JtoO
Nepal Sandalwood (osyris wightiana) is related to other sandalwood types. It has been used to mix into sandalwood essential oil since the 1800's. The smell is not as obvious as high grade Indian sandalwood or the the Hawaii Sandalwood types. It usually requires heating to be smelled and the aroma is more mellow than other sandalwood. Generally the lighter the color and the more burl in a piece the more smell it has. Reddish pieces usually have less smell, no idea why (however the color makes up for that!). This super rare material was imported around 2006 and as far as I can tell, not again since then. We don't have much left but wanted to put a rare offering together with these. They mostly have small natural splits, divets and some holes. We worked extensively on each piece that get those natural areas filled and glued with superglue. Expect some more gluing to be needed inside in some cases if you want to have a smooth surface as shown in the pics. It is a dream to work and has a unique beautiful look.
