Additional
Information:
The Spalted Ash came from a saw mill in South-Central Pennsylvania. This
particular saw mill owner collects unique primo one-of-a-kind pieces
of wild looking woods for me. This piece of Spalted Ash has
multi-colors and worm poop that gives it lots of character and wild
figure.
Honduras
Rosewood
is a
very hard and heavy wood with multi red and brown colors. Honduras
Rosewood has a distinctive rose fragrance. This wood has been sought
after hundreds of years ago from furniture and musical instrument
makers. Honduras Rosewood sometimes produces a burl in which the grain is radically deformed because of some
stress or damage and makes small birdseye knots.
This burl wood is highly figured and is sliced into veneers and thus accounts for
much of its rarity and price. The Honduras Rosewood Burl that I use
has been sustainably harvested. This piece of burl provides
a
nice
contrast
to
the
Spalted
Ash.
