Sandalwood (Hawaiian) 1 - 16

A precious wood of great rarity when mature like these.   Santalum elipticum is a treasure similar to the highest grades of Mysore Sandalwood from India.  This particular group is even more special because they have more oil (and aroma) than even normal good sandalwood.  This is why the color is darker in this group, rather than the usual yellowish color.      A premium incense, carving and turning wood, as well as an oustanding wood for very special handles.     We have very little left, once it is gone, we have no way to get more.      

Pyinma 1.5 x 1.5 x 12's 1-10

Pyinma, also called Asian Curly Satinwood is an uncommon wood from Laos and elsewhere in Southeast Asia. It does have a satiny feel and polishes like glass. New supplies are not possible since about 2016 when Laos banned nearly all wood exports. We have kept them from many years ago and offer them now at a competitive price. Check prices elsewhere, these are substantially less than market price. ALL pieces ARE 1.5 x 1.5 x 12 inches

Pyinma, figured, L to P

Pyinma with very high figure, dried. Note that piece L is stabilized with resin. These cannot be replaced due to a 7 year old import ban.

Shedua high figure

NOTES: These Bowl blanks were cut from the same thick board. All are basically the same in figure, color etc. All have been carefully dried over years.
