Wood Origin
Working with all the woods I do it's easy to forget just where that piece of wood came from. I work with many exotic woods that come from all over the world. When I start working with a new type of wood I will look up just what that woods properties are, but mostly just glance over where it came from and what kind of tree it came from. I thought it would be nice to do a little more in depth research on just where my wood comes from, and just what the tree it comes from looks like.
Guayacan
Location: West Indes, Central America, northern South America
Ebony
Location: Western Africa
Redheart
Location: Southern Mexico to southern Brazil and Paraguay
Cant seem to find a picture of this tree.
Tulipwood
Location: Northeastern Brazil
Pink Ivory
Location: Southern Africa
Mopani
Location: Southern Africa
Tamboti
Location: South African Lowveld and Swaziland
Osage Orange
Location: Tropical America (West Indies, Central and South America)
Well that's about all I think I will do for now. I would like to map out where all my woods com from. Maybe in a later post I'll create a map showing just where all my woods come from.
