This vibrant purple is attained through oxidation, basically it’s wood rust. When purple heart is fresh cut it is a purplish brown. After several days to a couple of weeks exposure to oxygen in the air the wood takes on its familiar purple hue. Once the oxidation is complete we then clear coat the dice.

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.

$42.00 – $167.00East Indian Rosewood is stupid hearty and sometimes contains chalk deposits that will rapidly dull our endmills.
