Tamboti – Rare African Hardwood Turning Blank with Natural Aroma
Tamboti (Spirostachys africana) is a rare and distinctive Southern African hardwood prized for its rich chocolate-brown to golden coloration, fine grain, and naturally aromatic oils. Long valued in traditional African craftsmanship, Tamboti offers both visual beauty and a unique sensory experience that sets it apart from most exotic woods.
This premium Tamboti turning blank features a dense, fine-textured grain that turns smoothly with sharp tools and controlled cuts. It holds crisp detail and sands to a silky surface, finishing with a deep luster that enhances its natural warmth and subtle figure. When worked, Tamboti releases a pleasant, spicy aroma—an unmistakable hallmark of this exceptional species.
Tamboti is ideal for high-end pens, knife scales, bottle stoppers, small boxes, inlay work, and heirloom turning projects. Its durability, stability, and rarity make it especially attractive for collectors and artisans seeking uncommon materials with authentic character.
Add refined African elegance and unmistakable presence to your next creation with carefully selected Tamboti wood blanks, chosen for color depth, grain quality, and premium turning performance.
