Figured woods, miscellaneous types

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. Read the whole description to get the facts on what is being sold, dried pieces will say "dried", stabilized pieces will say "stabilized" etc. Might be noted somewhere in the description or the item.

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.

SIZES ARE IN INCHES

These thicker pieces have been fully slow dried over many years. A wood that is nice to work, has great figure and changes appearance from every light angle. This makes the full extent of the figure hard to show in photos, you really need a video for something like this. A favorite of woodturners and other woodworkers for many years. ALL are GG+/GG grade

This Sindora burl took years to slow dry, it is one of the more difficult to dry types as the density is off the charts. Almost reminds me of figured ivory. Once dry, it is a pretty stable wood and very nice to work with. GG+ figure .

Some unusual burls for one time sale. NOTES: The American elm burl has been soaked in superglue which was then sanded off multiple times. You likely will have to glue it more on the inside but we really worked all the glue in we could from the outside. These were so extraordinary for elm I decided to put a couple hours+ additional work into them just to make them nice. We have no more elm like these, nor have I seen any for sale. The Gmelia burl is the last piece we have in the shop, and it is a very nice solid and pretty piece.
