Etimoe

This West African wood was more popular in the 1970's and 80's when we first imported it. But it is such a nice wood that when we were recently offered a nice log from Ghana we jumped at it and had it sawed mostly quartersawn and then kiln-dried it. The heartwood is reddish-brown with sometimes a coppery cast. On the quartersawn surface there is often light and dark striping which is very attractive under a finish. It has a fine to medium texture and is easily milled and sanded. Excellent for furniture, cabinetry, paneling, and flooring.

Masur Birch Log Slices

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.
