Features

  • Dramatic spalting lines and dark figure against warm tamarind background

  • Every blank shows unique fungal patterns; no two are alike
  • Excellent for turned bowls, hollow forms, and one‑of‑a‑kind art pieces

Workability & Performance

  • Sharp tools essential: Spalted areas can be slightly softer; dull edges tear rather than slice cleanly
  • Take light cuts: Especially near spalt boundaries and wormholes to avoid chipping
  • Sands to a silky finish: Reveals vivid spalting contrast and tamarind’s natural luster
  • Finishing: Accepts oils, lacquer, or wax; spalted lines pop with clear coats
  • Moisture note: At 15‑30% MC, allow gradual drying if needed, or turn now and stabilise

Notes

  • Natural variations in grain, colour, and spalting make each piece unique.
  • The presence of natural warm holes in tamarind wood is typical, reflecting its unique growth patterns.
  • Due to the nature of wood movement, shrinkage and expansion are possible (wood not kiln‑dried).
  • Please measure each piece carefully before starting any project.
  • Dimensions are approximate and may vary by ±⅛".
  • Photo is representative; you will receive a similar blank.
