    Figured European Pearwood Charcuterie Board Blanks

    Almost all Pearwood imported into the U.S.A. has been steamed to bring out a more pinkish-red color and to prevent drying stresses. Formerly the wood was used for carving, turning, drawing instruments, wood engravings, textile printing blocks, and tool handles. Stained black it is an excellent substitute for Ebony. Contemporary uses include woodwinds such as recorders, furniture, kitchen accessories, jewelry and other boxes, and architectural uses such as paneling and doors. I've included an image of a sanded and finished board to give an idea of what these beautiful boards can look like with just a little sanding and finish work. This pearwood has a wonderfully smooth and warm feel once sanded and would make a lovely DIY holiday gift.

    New Guinea Striped Ebony

    This wood originated from a small, sparsely inhabited island off the east coast of New Guinea. Some of these trees grow to enormous dimensions. One of the first logs we received from here was 3 1/2 feet in diameter, 18 feet long, and weighed 7 tons. It is fine-grained and takes a glassy smooth finish. Most of these pieces have a "marble-cake" look to the end grain that is outstanding.

    Masur Birch Bargain Box

    Also called Alpine Burl or Karelian Burl after the Finnish province of Karelia where it is often found. The high figure found in this wood is caused when the tree heals the damage done by an invasive boring beetle. The beetle infestation leaves the trees stunted and sometimes deformed but produces wood with small twists and swirls that highlight the darker, burly figure. Rare. Our bargain boxes contain the mill ends and cut offs from producing the other products that are on our website. The pieces in this box may contain defects. Net weight is 9 lbs. Box size is 6 x 6 x 20".
