Griffin Exotic Wood

Figured woods (various types)

This is the exciting page for various figured woods that just don't fit somewhere else.  We will have an ever changing inventory, and most are here because they are available only occasionally or just once.  Usually there are not many pieces available, so if you like what you see be sure to buy what you want soon as they may go quickly.  Each type of wood has its own picture and heading below.

Grading explanation for figured wood:
Gallery grade minus (gg-) is a nicely figured piece that has some figure scattered around, not tight or all over figure
Gallery grade (gg) is a highly figured piece of wood. It has very high and intense figure on at least two parallel sides, or very good figure on 3 or 4 sides.
Gallery grade PLUS (gg+) is a piece with rare intense figure that appears on all 4 surfaces of a square. Usually uncommon to rare.

Coffee burl
coffea arabica

Our coffee burl is cut from real coffee plantations near Bali, Indonesia.  Has a finer grain and very nice figure.  This burl is usually sold as whole odd shaped pieces.  We found these can be hard to work with for woodturners so we cut away the waste (about 80%) to make these nice blocks.  Nice turning wood.  These have been air dried in the rough burls for over 18 months before being cut round.  Limited supply.  Priced based on final weight and quality.  May have small pith check(s) and some natural indents the picture does not show.

Photos have been taken to show figure as well as most major variations in appearance such as natural indents.  Prices are based on quality and size.
