Afzelia Burl J-M

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

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.

African Blackwood 8to11

African Blackwood is a genuine rosewood and has been highly prized for thousands of years. It is used in musical instrument uses, but is really exquisite for use in all kinds of craft work because the wood finishes great and is a joy to work with. Being a genuine rosewood, supplies are severely limited by a permit program and it is now hard to get.

Afzelia Burl 1to15

Small dried panels in Afzelia burl we originally had cut for small samples many years ago.  I found them in a forgotten box recently, where they'd been for about 12 years.   Afzelia burl is extremely rare and very hard to find.   Note that these are good for various uses including knife blocks, or cutting in two and using as two short pen blanks.   Price shown is nothing like what we would have to pay if we got these now.  The price of these would average $21 each at current prices, so take advantage of this find.

Amboyna Burl 16to27

Small panels in dried Amboyna Burl.  These were found in a box recently I had put away about 12 years ago.     Sold at a special price based on what we paid many years ago.  Current pricing for these produced today would average:   $22.50 each Note you can use these for various uses, including knife blanks and also cut down the length to make two amboyna burl short pen blanks.

Amboyna Burl 200to204

Incredibly figured  Amboyna Burl.  This is  Dried medium weight material so it is a dream to sand and very easy to cut.  Still hard enough to be quite tough though.   Because amboyna is usually sold at the source by weight, the somewhat lighter weight means this burl costs over 30% less then it would have if it were the higher weight material.

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.
