African Blackwood AtoH

African Blackwood, a genuine rosewood, is well known for millenia and is likely what the Ancient Egyptians called "ebony". It has a very fine grain, takes a glass like polish and is well suited for ornamental turnery, woodwinds, and anything that involves fine detail. It cannot be shipped outside the USA due to international trade restrictions on all genuine rosewoods.

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 323to329

Amboyna Burl all from the same slab (except 326).   Note that all pieces except 326 came from a large red slab and they will turn red over time.

Amboyna Burl 330to336

Amboyna Burl all cut from the same large Dried slab.   Note that the source slab is red.  All these pieces will turn red over time too.

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.  

Afzelia Xylay 108 - 113

Amboyna Burl 300to306

Dried Amboyna Burl.   Very high figured pieces.   All of these pieces came from the same large slab.   Important note about colors:  The slab from which these came is all red.  These pieces will also turn red as well.

Amboyna Burl 307-313

Dried Amboyna Burl, all cut from the same large slab.   Note the slab these came from is all red.  These will turn red over time as well.

Amboyna Burl 314to322

Amboyna burl dried blanks, high grade figure.  All from the same slab.   Note:  These came from an all red slab and these will turn red over time.

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.
