Working and finishing Black Heart (Brazilian Blackheart / Pau Santo)
Very dense and oily with interlocked grain and a fine, even texture with excellent natural lustre; moderately difficult to work because of its hardness, and expect noticeable tool dulling.
Polishes to a high natural shine with minimal added finish thanks to its natural oil content and lustre; used for bowl blanks, slabs and fine turning at Kingma.
Sold as is. Grain, colour and figure vary from piece to piece. Confirm the dimensions your build needs before you buy.
