    Details

    Tamarindus indica. Spalted Tamarind has a spectacular heartwood with
    background colors of ivory, yellow and black lines, which gives an
    unpredictable landscape effect. Much of the wood comes from logs that were
    found on the forest floor. Turns and finishes well. Due to the nature of the
    species, bug and worm holes may be present on some blanks and no two are alike.
    Native to Laos.
    We have collected some of the most highly figured pieces and
    improved on Mother Nature by stabilizing them by injecting an acrylic resin.
    This virtually eliminates the biggest problem with burl turnings, checking and
    cracking due to expansion or contraction. In addition, they have been dyed a
    range of vibrant colors.
    We recommend taking precautions when working with spalted
    wood, such as using adequate dust collection equipment and wearing a personal
    respirator or mask.
    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.
