Snakewood – Ultra-Dense Exotic Turning Blank with Iconic Figure
Snakewood (Brosimum guianense) is one of the world’s most sought-after exotic hardwoods, instantly recognizable for its distinctive snakeskin-like pattern, deep reddish-brown color, and extreme density. Rare, visually dramatic, and highly prized by master craftsmen, Snakewood is considered a true luxury material for heirloom-quality work.
This premium Snakewood turning blank features the characteristic dark mottled figure that gives the wood its name. Exceptionally hard and heavy, Snakewood requires sharp tools and controlled cuts, but rewards skilled turners with crisp detail and unparalleled visual impact. When properly finished, it polishes to a glass-smooth surface that showcases intense contrast and depth.
Snakewood is ideal for high-end pens, knife scales, cue components, musical instrument parts, inlay work, and collectible turnings. Due to its density and rarity, it is typically reserved for accent pieces and premium projects where the wood itself is the centerpiece.
Add unmistakable luxury and exotic prestige to your next creation with carefully selected Snakewood blanks, chosen for bold figure, structural integrity, and exceptional presentation.
