    Common uses: carving, turned objects, and small wood specialty objects such as knife handles (Astronium Graveolens) Jobillo (Ho be yo) from Central America has a light reddish brown heartwood streaked with sharply contrasting dark reddish to black band that resemble burn marks. This wood is hard and heavy but turns well and will take a fine polish. This member of the cashew family produces stunning turned pieces because of contrasting nature of its stripes.

    • Excellent for turning





    • Takes a high polish





    • Common uses: carving, turned objects, and small wood specialty objects such as knife handles





    Due to the nature of wood movement, shrinkage and expansion are possible. Please measure each piece carefully before starting any project.



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

      Jobillo

      Really nice piece of stock. I cut some for Bottle Stoppers and then made the rest into Pen blanks. Very ecconomical when you do it that way.
