Pau Rosa - Beautiful, burnt orange in color with lighter contrasting grain patterns. Pao Rosa is a fine grained wood that polishes to a beautiful shine.
Purpleheart - These are a natural purple color! Here's a tip - if it's not a very dark purple, you can either leave your tamper in sunlight or use heat to bring out more color!
Red Palm - These have a light tan base with red quills running through them. If you've never seen turned Palm it's a unique wood that when turned will give an appearance like no other wood.
Sapele
(aka African Mahogany)
This is a medium brown wood with medium density.
Thuya Burl - Thuya is a gorgeous burl from Morocco! Medium brown in color and covered with dark eyes, this burl is very dense and polishes wonderfully. They are slightly oily and very aromatic.
Tiger Stripe
(aka Philippine Mahogany)
Tiger Striped Philippine Mahogany has the rich brown coloring of Mahogany but with a checker pattern with some deep set curl.
Truly unique, we only have what's in stock and no other supply in sight!
Tulipwood - These cream colored pieces have beautiful pink and purple stripes running through them for incredible contrast!
Wenge
Yellowheart - An extremely easy wood to describe. As the name implies, it's yellow. It's a solid colored yellow wood that will compliment dark stainings. The wood is of medium to heavy density and has excellent polishing characteristics.
Yellow Box Burl - The Yellow Box Burl is a lighter colored burl from Australia with swirling grain and
some eyes. It actually resembles a lighter colored Brown Mallee.
Zebrawood
Ziricote has a greyish brown color highlighted with black striped grain patterns. While very striking in appearance, it's true beauty lies in the way it polishes. It's a very dense wood that isn't as oily as many other species of similar density.
Katalox - These Dark Brown pieces have swirling grain patterns and are VERY DENSE! This means that they polish to a HIGH Shine! Similar to African Blackwood, but not as dark.
