Large piece of "bee's-wing" Cocobolo!

Roughly 4.75 inch x 4.75 inch x 30 inch turning square.

Great color with tight bee's-wing figure along one of the faces.

Does have a check running down the length of the piece but with such unique figure should still yield plenty of usable material!

Give us a call if you are interested.

Bubinga "End-Cut" Coffee table by Phil Audia

We have recently had numerous clients inquiring about our Bubinga end-cut slabs, so we figured it would be a great time to highlight Phil's table pictured below, enjoy!






At Nearly 48" in diameter, these end-cut slabs make for amazing looking coffee tables or small dining tables!



We have more of these slabs if you like the way Phil's table turned out!

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions 760.434.3030

Looking for a great alternative to Koa?

Tasmanian Black Acacia (also known as Australian Blackwood) makes a great substitute for Hawaiian Koa for numerous reason which include:
  • Consistent availability in great dimensions and at a more economical price!
  • Same great color and grain as Koa (as both are Acacia species, these two woods are pretty much carbon copies of each other)


Currently we have about 1500 BF of sequentially cut Black Acacia slabs in some fantastic sizes.

If you've been on the look out for Koa but haven't been able to find any suitable material at  reasonable prices, these slabs may just be the perfect solution to your dilemma...  

See available all available slabs on our website.
