Wow! Look what just came up from our sawmill...

We haven't carried this species in over 5 years!

One of the densest woods in the world, Partridgewood is a very tight grained exotic that is prized for ornamental turnings and other high-end projects.

This species is extremely hard to find so we were ecstatic when we received about 100 BF worth of turning squares in a variety of sizes.
(Sizes range from 1.5" to 4" square x lengths of mostly 8" and up)

If you are fan of very dense woods such as Lignum Vitae, Gidgee, Pau Santo and Katalox-we highly recommend picking up some Partridgewood while we have it (which doesn't happen very often!)

Feel free to order some on the Online Store or you can also call us directly to place your order.

Cocobolo canine statue by Chris Kaiser of Abiszet Creations

Chris dropped by the shop today to pick up some more Extra-Wide Cocobolo lumber for his hand crafted Saluki, Whippet and Afghan Hound statues.

He also brought in one of his best-selling designs to show us.

Amazing looking piece!

Chris uses a wide range of exotics which includes Ebony, Zebrawood, Purpleheart and Chechen but he says his favorite wood to work with (and best-selling as well) is our Mexican Cocobolo.

Sneak Peek: New Parota Slabs!

We just received these these incredible images from our sawmill in Mexico!

We don't have the exact dimensions of these new slabs just quite yet but we think it's safe to say that some are going to be pretty large (see images)...Conference room table anyone?

Besides the extra-large slabs pictured above, there should also be plenty of new slabs in typical dining table dimensions (38-50" wide x 96-120" long)

We can't wait to see them!
