Description

Kingwood is another typical rosewood which is very dense and has a bell-like tap tone. This stuff truly does ring in larger sizes. Kingwood got its name due to the fact that it was the favored wood of King Louie the 15th and 16th. It is said that all the furniture in their entire palace used Kingwood inlays. In addition to its amazing tonal properties, Kingwood has a rich violet brown coloration that you must see to believe. It is marked with dark and light striations and the very rare sap wood inclusion makes for a very nice pale creamy yellow contrast to the striated violet browns of the heart wood.

    Pink Ivory

    $63.00 – $273.00

    Pink Ivory was a sacred wood to the Zulu chiefs of South Africa. It was said that if anyone other than a Zulu chief was found to possess the wood, they would be executed. At one time, it was said to be rarer than diamonds.  The wood grows in various parts of South Africa, and takes hundreds of years to reach a size suitable to make a blank. It turns out however, that it is not quite as rare as we have been led to believe, and nowadays this extremely slow-growing and exceedingly hard wood is harvested with proper permits from the South African government to ensure a sustainable harvest for decades to come. Even so it is still one of the rarest commercially available woods in the world.
