Mpingo (African Black Wood)
$63.00 – $273.00The original Ebony is not what you might think it is. It’s not even an Ebony. Traditionally we view Gabon Ebony as THE Ebony, but that is not the case.

Cocobolo

Cocobolo’s colors range from deep browns to the the color of fire when fresh cut then deepens to a vibrant orange as it develops a patina from the oils in your hands. So the more you roll your dice the prettier they become. Regardless of its base color, Cocobolo has a wild striping caused by swirly dark streaks that appear throughout the wood.

Rengas Tiger
$63.00 – $273.00Rengas Tiger is an Indonesian wood and is a deep red color with light brown to yellow stripes that can appear metallic. Its beauty does come with a cost. Rengas Tiger wood can cause dermatitis or severe allergic reactions much like poison ivy and also headaches fever and vomiting. (Oh goody poisonous wood!) Luckily for us none of the minions are allergic to it. However, you won’t need to worry about any of these reactions as the dust and sap cause them and you will come into contact with neither of them as the dice are sealed in lacquer.

Patagonia Rosewood (Cebil)
$27.00 – $103.00Also know as Cebil, Patagonian Rosewood is fast becoming one of my favorite Rosewoods, even though it is not a true Rosewood. Photos simply do not due this wood justice. The grain is simply outstanding. Patagonian Rosewood readily shines to a natural luster and has a metallic sheen that seems to irritate my camera. Patagonian Rosewood is light in color with vivid blue black stripes and is truly a sight to behold. Seriously considering making my gaming table from this South American wood. It’s primary use seems to be as hardwood flooring.

East Indian Rosewood (Sonokeling)
$42.00 – $167.00
East Indian Rosewood (Sonokeling)
$42.00 – $167.00East Indian Rosewood is stupid hearty and sometimes contains chalk deposits that will rapidly dull our endmills. It’s a sensitizer which means it take a bit of extra effort to machine, but it’s worth it. It’s very durable and even termite resistant! Rich dark tones and gorgeous stripes are just a few reasons why East Indian Rosewood makes a beautiful set of dice. It’s also commonly used in guitar necks and thanks to its density alternating light and dark grains it polishes to quite a shine. It hails from Sri Lanka, Eastern India, and Indonesia.
