Woodcraft has brought together the most exceptional stock of domestic and exotic hardwood knife scale blanks–1" thick solid stock or matching 3/8" pieces. Each piece was selected for its striking figure and milled to sizes that make the knife making process easy and efficient with minimal waste.

Burmese Blackwood (Dalbergia cultrata) is a dense and hard wood with heartwood that is dark blackish-brown with sections of dark red with black or purple streaks. Grain can be irregular. This wood has a uniform medium texture and very good natural luster. Despite its density, it carves, turns and polishes well. Common uses include turned objects, carvings, furniture, inlay, musical instruments (percussion), and small specialty wood items.

Features:

  • A member of the rosewood family
  • Carves and turns well with a very good natural luster
  • Finishes well taking a high polish
  • Native to Southeast Asia

Notes:

  • Wood is a product of nature, and as such, no two pieces are alike to start with, the same wood growing in different locales can vary greatly even though it is the exact same species.

    Wow!

    I really love African blackwood, and thought I would give this a try, without the highest of expectations. Well, it finished so smooth and glassy. Very fine grain. Tons of cool streaks. Glued up well. It's similar to most redwood/ blackwoods when cutting; lots of smoke, and probably dulls your bladed. Sanded well. Will definitely purchase more of these blocks for future kitchen knife projects.
