Forgotten Woods

Monkey Puzzle burl must be one of the rarest burls. We have acquired a limited quantity of this Aracaria species. It will be available as whole small burls and pen blanks in the near future.

Here ia a little hollow form vessel I turned last night. Not finished yet but pretty nice.

this weekend we had some time between heavy rains to get into some of the new burl wood and pieces to see what might be inside. The outside of most all the wood pieces are gray and stained from spending more than a year and a half to get to us. Not to mention 30 days transit aboard the ship in a 40 ft container and the nearly one month for customs to finally inspect the load. Allot of stuff happens inside a air tight container full of wood coming from the Amazon! But what went on inside the wood during all those months blew our minds!

Eye Candy Hardwood Bowl Blanks

We have in stock over 15,000 bf of Peruvian hardwood cants in 15 different species. Lengths run up to 12 feet and some are as wide as 27 inches. Thickness up to 6 inches. We’ll get a listing up soon but in the meantime contact us if you need some of this material. We will cut to size as needed.

After all the months, and after telling everyone in about 30 days our wood will arrive, it has finally arrived….and it only took 18 x 30 days!!!! I have to say however, it IS worth the wait. Only a few folks have seen this outrageous wood yet, but, the overwhelming comment has been “this is AWESOME!”. Now that we have all these killer specimen pieces we can start working our way through the lot. Some will be resawn, other pieces will be left as they are because there is nothing that we can, or should, do to improve on them. A few of the pieces are so strange they will defy your imagination. It’s like a candy store for wood hounds! SWEET

Just a few of the new arrivals before they left Peru……..

Over 20 tons of new burls and turning stock has finally arrived from our warehouse in Southeastern Peru.

The shipment contains over 30 species of exotic tropical hardwoods. Most of the species have never been exported from Peru and never imported into the USA before.
