$63.00 – $273.00Mpingo (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.

Rengas Tiger
$63.00 – $273.00Rengas 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.

$42.00 – $167.00East Indian Rosewood (Sonokeling)

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.
