    Black Palm Wood

    $63.00 – $273.00

    Native to Southeast Asia, the Black Palm produces dense, stringy wood that may vary in color but is widely known for its distinctive speckled, streaked grain pattern and color contrast. Its stringy quality makes for unique finishes. We reject nearly 50 percent of this wood due to the nature of the wood fibers and their tendency to split during the crafting process. Suitable samples of Black Palm Wood make for some of the most beautiful dice we produce.

    Ancient Kauri

    $63.00 – $273.00

    Kauri is a giant tree and the oldest workable wood on the planet. How old is it? well, we say 50 thousand years, but that isn’t entirely cut and dry. When you’re on the Autobahn, behind the wheel and pegging your speedometer out at 150 mph, how fast are you going? The speedometer says 150, but you know you’re going faster than that. Radio carbon dating stops at 50 thousand years. Only thing we know for sure is that these trees were ancient before they died, some 50 thousand years ago.

    Ko’u

    $63.00 – $273.00

    Ko’u just might be the rarest wood we work with. I stumbled across it by accident when one of my suppliers obtained a blown down tree from Hawaii where this tree grows indigenously. Ko’u was used by the Hawaiian Royalty for plates, bowls, spoons, and other utensils as it does not impart nor take on a flavor from food.
