Information: Buckeye is a medium-sized deciduous tree
that primarily grows in the Midwest and lower Great Plains. The wood
is rather plain and yellowish-white. However, Buckeye also grows in
the foothills of California where it often produces a burl. The burl
is a growth in which the grain is
radically deformed because of some stress or damage and makes small
birdseye knots and swirly figure. California Buckeye Burl also is
usually spalted. This spalted Buckeye burl wood which was in the
process of rotting has a bunch of fungi in the wood. The fungi makes
a lot of the yellowish-white wood turn bluish gray which makes
Buckeye Burl some of the prettiest woods in the world because it has
lots of swirly figure, birdseye, and two-tone coloration.
This particular piece has been dyed in order accentuate the
two-tone coloration. African Blackwood is a
dense, shiny wood that often is pure black. This wood is used to
make: wind instruments (clarinet, oboes, etc.);
string instruments (banjos, guitars, etc.); furniture; and
knife handles (because Blackwood is moisture repellant). |
