Thuya Burl
(Tetraclinis articulata)
Book-matched Knife Handle Sets

This comes from the Atlas mountains in Morocco and has a beautiful golden chatoyance. Its color varies from a rich, lustrous golden brown to nearly black. Thuya burl is hard and dense with a high oil content, but tends to be brittle. The eyes, perfectly round, are scattered about in some burls like the figure in bird’s-eye maple; in others they are grouped as islands. A rare species, this exquisite wood is used for inlays, small boxes, turnery, and precious objects.

Desert Ironwood
(Olneya tesota)
Book-matched Sets

Desert Ironwood is found only in southwestern Arizona, southern California, and northwestern Mexico. This desert tree attains a height of 25 feet with a diameter seldom over 18 inches. It is one of the heaviest woods found in North America. The dense heartwood varies in color from a light tan to golden brown to chocolate brown often with darker striping. The best colored material comes from dead trees/logs that may have lain on the desert floor for decades. The wood generally contains many defects but most can be repaired with cyanoacrylate (super) glues. The wood is difficult to work because of its hardness, but takes a beautiful, glassy-smooth polish.
