Note that Shittah/shittim is the singular and shittum is  the plural. 
 


Pieces of real shittum wood cut legally in the Sinai Desert.  Our source has only been given permission to cut
one tree and only a small amount is available.  These pieces are 3/4" x 3/4" x 5" -5.5" long.  To understand more of why it is important see Exodus, Chapter 25 in the Bible Old Testament.  We have had many requests over the years so we are very happy to be able to offer these to our customers, probably just this one time. Sorry but we cannot supply other sizes besides these for shittim wood!   We have now received a few more pen blanks from the same tree, see below:

Carob Wood from Israel
(Ceratonia siliqua)
 Carob is a beautiful wood mentioned in the Bible in Luke 15:16. The word "carat" comes from the carob tree seeds, which are very uniform in weight and were used to determine the weight of one "carat". The inside of the seedpods are used in modern times as a chocolate substitute.
