Pink Ivory (Berchemia zeyheri), also called Red Ivory, umNini or umGoloty, is a very rare African wood used to make luxury products (for example billiard cues and knives). The Pink Ivory tree grows predominantly in Zimbabwe, Mozambique and South Africa. The wood is extremely hard and has a density of 990 g/dm³.
Pink Ivory is the royal tree of the Zulus because only the royal family were allowed to possess the wood.

Varies from light pink to dark pink and red, with lighter and darker shades of yellow and red, sometimes grey. Straight to irregular grain, fine even texture. This batch has some small black knots which give extra character

Dimensions: 25 x 40 x 120mm approx. Imported from Croatia, some good red to purple speckles and interesting graining. These blocks will make excellent scales and carved handles.

Although Plum is related to Cherry, it tends to be heavier and harder than Cherry, and much more scarce. Sizes are very limited, so Plum tends to be assigned primarily to smaller, knife making projects.

I have quite a few blocks of this fast growing Scots Pine, taken from the base of a large tree. When polished some delicate quilting occurs.

The tree was taken down 3 years ago and was about 40 years old and I have carefully stored and planked the most interesting sections.
