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 and blueish gray colors. Buckeye Burl
is one of the prettiest woods in the world because it has lots of
swirly figure, birdseye, and two-tone coloration. African Blackwood is a dense, shiny wood that often is pure black. This wood is moisture repellant and is used to make: wind instruments (clarinet, oboes, etc.); string instruments (banjos, guitars, etc.); furniture; and knife handles. This particular piece provides a nice contrast to the Turquoise Buckeye Burl. |
