Hey guys, I just got finished restocking my site from the black friday sale, and i wanted to show some of the woods i think you have NEVER seen before!
What do you guys think?
Thornwood: Scientific name unknown: This is an amazing wood. I was offered it by a South American supplier who said the trees were known as Thornwood. The wood inside looks like no other wood i know of. It appears like a cork flecked with dark spots. Despite its seemingly light and airy appearance, the wood is highly durable and responded very well to stabilizing to yield a durable, dense and high finishing wood.
Bulletwood: Manilkara bidentata: Known throughout South America for its incredible density and durability, bulletwood is normally considered a somewhat underwhelming lumber. The burls however, are a different story. With a deep red pink coloration and fine silver white grain lines snaking through curly burled wood, bulletwood burls have a great resemblance to the ultra rare pink ivory burl in color, grain and durability.
