Spalted Tamarind from Southeast Asia. Dried

Ziricote 1-15

Actual pieces shown, order below. These pieces are completely dried. They were dried over a decade, this wood is ready to use. This wood is uncommon on the market in dried and truly defect free pieces over 1.5 inch thick. Cracks in dried wood are very common and we must cut away something like 70% of a board to get the good 30%. Of that remaining 30%, maybe 50% has a decent pattern, and just a few pieces have a very good pattern. Much of ziricote is pretty plain, despite the pictures you might see on the internet. It is common for many boards to just have a few dark lines spaced out over the entire large board weighing 40+ pounds. Also, it is becoming rare and good pieces of any thickness over 1 inch are uncommon.
