African Blackwood 1to7

African Blackwood is a genuine rosewood. Normally used for making musical instruments and has great working properties. Can be used for many things including ornamental turnery. The color of this wood is not black, despite the name. Colors are really a variation of dark violet and browns. Sometimes when finished it looks black.

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 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.  

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 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 400to409

Very high grade, high density amboyna burl with great figure. Some of these are GG+ grade with figure everywhere. Dried pieces.

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.

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.
