Information:
Snakewood is named for its
characteristic snakeskin pattern and is one of the world's hardest
wood. This
wood is usually cut down with axes and carried on the backs of
indigenous people through snake infested jungles. Each tree
that is cut down is monitored and is subject to a strict permit
process to control harvesting. The
wood is typically reddish brown with contrasting darker brown or
black patches. The tree is quite rare and is probably the most
expensive of any exotic lumber. The Snakewood I use comes from
Suriname South America. RA Sycamore tree, often called an American plane tree or buttonwood tree, can grow to a massive size and grows in riparian and wetland areas. Sycamore wood has a rather plain appearance with some flecks. However, when the wood becomes spalted it becomes quite attractive. Spalted wood is wood that is in the process of rotting and has a bunch of fungi in the wood. The fungi makes lines pen-like black lines, in Sycamore, and results in some wild looking figure. The Spalted Sycamore I use has lots of pen-like black lines and came from a saw mill in South-Central Pennsylvania. This saw mill owner collects unique primo one-of-a-kind pieces of wild looking woods for me. This particular piece provides a nice contrast to the Snakewood. |
