Called by some woodworkers African Rosewood, Bubinga is a deep, lustrous, brownish-red color with a fine, darker striping. The figure makes the wood doubly beautiful. It is very hard and heavy and takes a glassy, smooth finish.
Due to CITES regulations, we can only ship this species to customers in the United States.
These gorgeous table slabs were cut in the 1990's from Cameroon Bubinga logs, before Cameroon stopped log exports. This Bubinga has the best figure coupled with a deep, rich color. We have applied one coat of clear shellac to show the beautiful figure. These are one of a kind boards and will make tables with outstanding beauty.

The heartwood of African Blackwood is purplish to brownish-black with dark gray streaks giving an overall impression of being black. Lustrous with an attractive inner chatoyance. Very hard, heavy, close-grained, and virtually free from pores. Its main use is in turning, and it claims the title of the finest of turnery woods, well known as the standard by which other turnery woods are judged. Long a favorite of ornamental turners, the nature of the wood allows very fine detail with sharp cutters, leaving a beautiful, burnished surface.
Some blanks may have sapwood corners or more, burly or wild grain, occasional bug holes, small inclusions, small checks, i.e. they have the small defects common to Blackwood. That said these have to be the best quality rejects I have seen in nearly 30 years. A good percentage have no discernible defects and those that do have minor ones.
They are an odd size to make it easier to turn the bell or flared end of a clarinet. On one end they are 2 3/4-3 1/4" square and the other end is 1 3/8-1 5/8" square with tapered sides as in the photo. Length is 4 3/4-5 1/4".
The barrel will ship via freight truck. Please call us if you have any questions. 503-274-1271

Also called European Basswood, this species grows throughout Europe. It was the favorite wood of the English carver Grinling Gibbons and the German Gothic sculptor Tilman Riemenschneider. Pale in color, it has a straight grain and fine, even texture. It is easy to work and can easily be carved with, against, and cross the grain. It is recognized as one of the classic carving woods. Air-dried.

This striped wood develops a beautiful golden patina as it ages.

This wood has gained in popularity since the early 1990's when Brazilian Rosewood was designated an endangered species. Furniture manufacturers used it as a Brazilian Rosewood substitute but it stands on its own as an instrument tone wood.

This rare burl is from S.E. Asia and is seldom seen on the world market. It is fine-grained and varies in color from a light reddish-brown to almost scarlet. It is easy to work and has a very pungent, spicy scent. For a burl it is remarkably stable. Green to partially air dried.

These cubes have some minor surface defects that will likely turn off. They're all quite nice Cameroon Bubinga, which isn't possible to get anymore.

One of the world's most rare and beautiful burls. A light to deep reddish-orange, sometimes with darker lines, and with a lovely, spicy scent, there is hardly an area not highly figured with bird's-eyes. Hard & heavy and capable of taking a fine polish.

These are all sequential slices. B & C are a nice book match set. If you buy both of them together, I will reduce the price for both to $335.00.
