$4,595.00
18” tall by 9.5” diameter. Native to the South Indian peninsula, this tree species was transplanted to South Florida more than a century ago. This is a very highly prized wood and very difficult to get in log form. Boards of this lumber type can sell for in excess of $30 per foot. It is very dense, extremely heavy, but works well with premium turning tools. This piece has a truly wonderful shape that has captivated me as of late. You can also see a delicious contrast between the lighter-colored sapwood and the darker heartwood. This piece invites a level of appreciation meant only for the most savvy collectors.
