As you can see Dean carefully selected a very unique piece of cocobolo lumber and combined it with some very figured flamed Koa. We think the combination worked out perfectly.
Here we see a box made out of primarily figured Walnut but with some accent pieces of other woods as well such as Ebony. Look at how all the different figures and colors go together nicely.
This one is made of granadillo. We have carried granadillo for years but it never really was a big seller. Since no one had really heard of it, every one wanted to stick to the well known woods . We had three lifts of the wood in the back that had been at the shop for well over 10 years. Recently people have started to notice the beauty of the wood and have started to purchase it like crazy. We still have some lumber left and hopefully will be receiving more in the near future.
This is a fiddleback Eucalyptus humidor with a quilted maple top. I believe there is also some Cocobolo in the mix as well. People are very hesitant when we tell them about the fiddleback Eucalyptus, they always want curly maple. Like the granadillo example, this box shows that there are hundreds of different woods out there that look amazing. Curly maple isn't the only curly wood out there. As you can see by this box, curly isn't a problem here. But if you do want curly maple and that's what tickles your fancy, we did just received a batch of 5/4 curly maple that will knock your socks off.
Here's another one that demonstrates how different combinations of woods really look visually appealing in boxes.
Look at the quilted Bubinga top lined with curly maple. Really looks nice. Can you imagine sticking a strip of snakewood ,curly pernambuco, ceylon satinwood, figured purpleheart?
