Borneo Rosewood 28-39

Borneo Rosewood is a rare type of red colored wood from the island of Borneo and also Southeast Asia (Thailand, etc). It is considered the best wood to keep a red color over a long period of time. The wood is quite dense and polishes very well. The darker pieces turn a sort of cranberry red over time. The pieces that are more orange turn a red color over time. Note that the pictures shown pieces that are recently cut, they have not had time to turn to a deeper shade yet. It does not tend to turn brown, making it quite unusual. This is not a genuine rosewood (which all have a latin name starting with "dalbergia") and for that reason it is allowed to be shipped worldwide.

Brazilian Kingwood

This is Brazilian Kingwood. It is a genuine rosewood and becoming rare in quality pieces like these. Last time imported was about 5 years ago, but that was just a very small amount and before that it was many years prior for the last time allowed out of Brazil. We hope it will be allowed out of Brazil again, but the current situation is that we will likely run out in the near future.

Boxwood 4 to 16

Genuine dried Boxwood. This type is Buxus Macowannii. A true buxus species and has a very fine grain, as this was taken from South Africa where it apparently grows quite slowly. Great quality material. It is a lot of labor to make these pieces, but we feel it is worth it to offer material that is top quality. When pieces are the general size of a Knife handle blank, we just label them as knife blanks. They can be used for all sorts of purposes though. Grades, see the description for boxwood. TG = Turning Grade, IQ = Musical Instrument Grade, IQ2= Almost musical instrument grade
