Australian Precious Wood, Square Timber, Length 120 mm, Mulga

In stark contrast to many types of tropical precious woods, Australian precious woods are harvested in a strictly controlled manner exclusively by federally licensed timber merchants. Burls growing on 100-year-old trees are carefully removed in a manner which actually revitalizes the living tree. The extraordinarily wild grain makes these timbers wonderful for turning bowls and boxes, making knife handles, and carving fine objects and jewellery.
