We are liking the sapline on this piece of Padouk lumber!

At 5/8" x 11" x 98", it's light enough that it could be hung up on a wall as a piece of art yet sturdy enough to still be used as a narrow tabletop or bar. Neat stuff!

NEW 3" x 3" x 24" Padouk turning squares!

Pieces by Barry Robin

Orange County native, Barry Robin has been a woodworker for close to 40 years.

Barry's introduction to fine woodworking came as a yacht carpenter, apprenticing under Don Fredrickson in Newport Beach. Wood turning and furniture design grew out of a need to express himself artistically while spending days in the engineering world.

Here are some amazing pieces by Barry out of wood purchased here at TEH. Most pieces are made using our high grade Mexican Cocobolo* and other hard to find species from around the world.

Amazing craftsmanship and design, don't you think?

*Several of Barry's jewelry boxes pictured below are made using some of our rare extra-wide pieces of Mexican Cocobolo.

To view some individual piece of extra-wide cocobolo listed on our online store, please click here.

Above is a gorgeous jewelery box out of Cocobolo.

Here is some wall art using Padouk and Pau Amarello (Yellowheart)

Bloodwood and Myrtle turned piece.

Another amazing jewelery box out of Cocobolo.

Padouk Tabletop by Customer Paul Mattlin

Paul recently replaced a worn oak table top with this beautiful Padouk slab.

In case you were wondering, Paul used three coats of tung oil under a thick layer of clear resin for durability.

If you like what you see, we still have a handful of these same Padouk slabs in stock.

They are 1.5" thick, 30-33" wide and up to 195" long!

Click here to see our available Slabs

Don't need something that long?

We do cut these down if you require a smaller slab!
