Quantity:
Black Palm (Borassus flabellifer) – Also known as palmyra palm, it belongs to the grasses and bamboos family, so it is classified as neither a hardwood nor a softwood. Featuring distinct interlaced patterns of dark and light brown wood, it is very straight grained with no rings or knots, but its dense, fibrous structure makes it difficult to work and highly prone to tear-out, so it demands very sharp tools.
Available in three sizes suitable for small turnings, these blanks can also be useful when you need only a small amount of wood, such as for inlays, plugs, splines or other decorative accents.
Sizes listed are nominal. As with most natural materials, minor variations in dimensions, color, texture and other characteristics are to be expected.
