Exotic wood earrings by Melvin Bitsui...
Longtime customer Melvin Bitsui dropped by the shop to show us some of his latest creations.All the earrings are made from left over material from his other wood projects. He loves working with high-end species such as Black and White Ebony and Snakewood so it's important that none of it goes to waste. Any remaining scraps are perfect for his smaller pieces such as these custom earrings.
Melvin also makes neat exotic wood Native American rattles.

Thanks Melvin for dropping by the shop!

Snakewood Logs
piratinera guianensis, snakewood comes from a small tree found in the forests of Suriname, South America
The appearance of snakewood is much like its name implies- that of a snakeskin or spotty like leopard spots. The heartwood is reddish-brown with black accents or vertical lines. It is very hard and heavy but is capable of a beautiful finish as it polishes out nicely.
Snakewood is mostly used to make drumsticks, rattles, pens, knife handles, violin bows, pool cues, archery bows and is used in inlay work and marquetry
The following pictures are of full logs that we have here at shop. Dimensions and weights are on each picture.
#A- SOLD, Thanks
#C- SOLD
#E- SOLD
