American Holly

Holly is the whitest wood commercially available. Our stock was cut during the winter and quickly dried in a vacuum kiln to prevent discoloration. The result is very white wood without gray or bluish staining. The wood is fine-grained and is excellent for turnery, inlays, musical instrument edge bandings, etc. The grade is common and better which means that there can be some defects, mainly knots.

Lignum Vitae

One of the world's densest and oiliest woods. The green to greenish-brown heartwood weighs between 80 to 90 lbs/cubic foot. Long used for its self-lubricating qualities in marine applications such as propeller shaft and rudder shaft bearings, it is also thought to have medicinal and healing properties. Its oily nature makes it difficult to glue but makes it a fantastic turning wood.

Any Lignum Vitae on our site is genuine Lignum, not Verawood. We also have Verawood in stock and will be labeled as such on the website.

Makamong Burl

This is from S.E. Asia and is also called Makamong. We cut a large burl years ago into 4" to 6" slabs. The burl was old to begin with, and had been lying in a timber brokers yard for who knows how long. But it was long enough for pests to burrow through the sapwood and into a bit of the heartwood. The effects were incredible. It reminds me of an old dolomite cave complex after thousands of years of water erosion. Full of fissures and chasms, it is easy to visualize bats flying in and out or maybe a miniature version of Shelob's lair.
