Red Palm Wood (Coconut Palm)
$42.00 – $167.00
Red Palm Wood (Coconut Palm)
$42.00 – $167.00Red Palm or Coconut Palms grow in the tropics worldwide. Palm wood is notoriously hard to work. Palm grows woody tuberous tissues that transport water and nutrients to the leaves. The darker fibers are brick bat hard and the lighter fibers are very very soft. This make Palm Wood very difficult to machine and it must be stabilized with an acrylic polymer before we can work it. All that extra work does pay off though. Palm wood is the only wood in the world with a striped polka dot pattern. Red Palm in particular, has a finer dot pattern with reddish brown dark fibers and lighter contrasting wood in between.

Katalox (Mexican Ebony)
$42.00 – $167.00
Katalox (Mexican Ebony)
$42.00 – $167.00Katalox (pronounced kata-low-sh) is also called Mexican Ebony. It is a wonderful substitute for ebony, in my opinion it far surpasses any of the ebonies in sheer beauty. Using Katalox as a mere substitute for ebony is a travesty, however, since it overlooks the inherent qualities of the wood that put it a step above any ebony. Katalox is the color of blackberries and polishes to a full rich shine that enhances the deep burgundy and purple tones of the wood. Katalox is not black, even though it can pass for black, upon closer inspection there is a myriad of deep reds and rich royal violets just below the surface.

Wild grain patterns and three-dimensional effects accompanied by the warm rich golden buttery tones interlaced with the typical dark markings of the wood are an unmistakable beauty.
