We also work closely with importers and distributors of exotic woods, across all five continents.<\/p>\n<p>We offer pen blanks, turning squares, spindles and bowl blanks in a range of beautiful African hardwoods. See <a href=\"#table\">the tables below<\/a> for the dimensions of parts we endeavour to keep in stock.<\/p>\n<p>The precious hardwoods we supply are responsibly harvested, seasoned, and cut to standard dimensions.<\/p>\n<p>Our turners&rsquo; wood is of prime quality, with no open or large knots, discolouration or slits and cracks. Our parts are sawn with panel saws that provide high precision. Also, both ends of each part are sealed with quality wax (without bubbles), to guarantee the absence of end cracks.<\/p>\n<p>Up to 15% of sapwood and bird eye knots are allowed. In practice, this adds to the distinctive nature of individual parts.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, what would count as a defect in a musical part is exactly what adds unique character and appeal to a turned item. However, our hardwood for turners is of sufficient quality that a number of our customers have in fact used it successfully for instrument making.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\u00a0\u00bb1\/3&Prime; css=\u00a0\u00bb.vc_custom_1599654454226{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Hardwood species<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=\u00a0\u00bb.vc_custom_1629116440999{margin-right: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 18px !important;padding-right: 18px !important;padding-bottom: 18px !important;padding-left: 18px !important;background-color: #f6f5f1 !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}\u00a0\u00bb]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/dev2.prosono-hardwoods.com\/hardwood-species\/african-blackwood\/\">African blackwood<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/dev2.prosono-hardwoods.com\/hardwood-species\/wild-or-african-olive\/\">African olive<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/dev2.prosono-hardwoods.com\/hardwood-species\/black-chacate\/\">Black chacate<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/dev2.prosono-hardwoods.com\/hardwood-species\/camel-thorn\/\">Camel thorn<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/dev2.prosono-hardwoods.com\/hardwood-species\/leadwood\/\">Leadwood<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/dev2.prosono-hardwoods.com\/hardwood-species\/mopane\/\">Mopane<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/dev2.prosono-hardwoods.com\/hardwood-species\/red-or-pink-ivory\/\">Red or pink ivory<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/dev2.prosono-hardwoods.com\/hardwood-species\/snake-bean\/\">Snake bean<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/dev2.prosono-hardwoods.com\/tambotie\/\">Tambotie (African cocobolo)<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=\u00a0\u00bbvc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs\u00a0\u00bb][vc_images_carousel images=\u00a0\u00bb6439,6455,6467,6471,6427,6447&Prime; img_size=\u00a0\u00bbmedium\u00a0\u00bb slides_per_view=\u00a0\u00bb6&Prime; hide_pagination_control=\u00a0\u00bbyes\u00a0\u00bb hide_prev_next_buttons=\u00a0\u00bbyes\u00a0\u00bb][vc_row_inner css=\u00a0\u00bb.vc_custom_1599543358749{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=\u00a0\u00bb.vc_custom_1621244190880{margin-bottom: 50px !important;padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;background-color: #77654d !important;}\u00a0\u00bb]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><em>\u201cThis wood is absolutely beautiful, and it&rsquo;s good to have taken a good number of it.
