Acrylic Wood

Oregon Big Leaf Maple is slightly coarser than European or Eastern Hard Rock Maple and as so is somewhat harder to work. Despite this, the beauty of the wood easily overcomes any difficulties in working. It has excellent color variations that range from white to coral pink & light brown. Boards of Big Leaf Maple usually have figure & color variations; no two boards are the same. This is another reason that Maple is such a fun wood for those who seek a creative flare in their projects. W14178: Teal Figured Acrylic Stabilized Curly Western Maple

Buckeye Burl, Aesculus californica, is one of the most interesting species we carry! We get the burls in whole and mill them right here at our facility into anything from guitar blanks to turning squares. Most pieces have wonderful burl and swirling grain patterns mixed with blue/grey, black & golden color contrast. All pieces have either natural incursions or bark edges that must be worked around. If there is bark on the pieces they cannot be shipped outside of the USA due to strict regulations concerning bark in export. It is useful to stabilize pen blanks and small items with CA glue to obtain a beautiful finish. USA. W14179: Brown Acrylic Stabilized Buckeye Burl

Lithocarpus densiflorus.  Tan Oak has an interesting history. Back in the 1800′s in Oregon, roads were constructed through the forests in order to log Tan Oak. At that time the tree was used primarily for the natural tanin produced in the tan oak trees.  Tanin was and is still used for treating furs and hides (which was a booming business with the 1800′s fur trade).  Douglas fir trees were cut and used as a secondary use species while they were logging the tan oak.  Today the tides have changed and Tan Oak is logged only because the Douglas Fir trees are being cut.  Tan Oak can have some interesting patterns when it spalts as much of our stock does.
