Bowl Blanks
African Blackwood 12to14
Genuine Rosewood bowl blanks in African Blackwood. These used to be easy to find, but not for a long time. These were dried for over a decade, truly ready to use. The piece #12 has some burl rays you can see in the front, and some other figure scattered around. 13 has figure in that one lighter area. 14 is very dark and appears to be musical instrument grade, uncommon for sure.
Piece 14
African Blackwood, dried, 1 7/8 x 4 x 4 inches, musical instrument grade (IQ)
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.

Black Ebony 400to401
Dried bowl blanks in Black Ebony. Super rare to find dried bowl blanks in this wood because it is a lot of trouble to produce them. At least one of these has been drying for over 19 years, the other for at least a decade. Ebony cracks really badly if not dried super slowly/correctly but it is fairly stable and nice to work once dry like these. Note that we may need to spray a thin clear finish on these to ship them safely to you.

Black Ebony, dried (ready to work), size: 1.75+ x 4.75 x 4 7/8 inches
