Wamara (Guyana Rosewood)

Very exotic…

That is a really cool looking box Joey. Looks like you are having more fun with your sculpting. I have Never seen wamara wood before. It is really unique and sure has a pretty grain. Finding really different wood types is one of the fun things about woodworking…like finding natures hidden treasures.

I impressed! Both with the wood and your craftsmanship. Fine job Joey!

Joey, that is absolutely beautiful. Not only the sculpting but the wood speaks for itself.

I would definitely get more of that.

Thanks everyone.

@Greg, I try to get a wood I have never worked with every time I go to the lumberyard.

There are so many subtle colors in this wood that I couldn’t capture it in a photograph. I recommend it highly.

I bought the at Steve Wall Lumber. I got it a couple of months ago, so I am not sure that they still have any, but I will be looking the next time I visit them.

I have one short piece of this left. I also have a Wenge box that needs a lid. I feel the light bulb beginning to flicker. LOL

You could get a pretty penny for this!

That is beautiful! You chose a perfect form for the wood and blended it well with the maple! Brilliant!

Thanks Nate. My wife says the maple handle looks like lips. LOL.. I started to call this one hot lips but I didn’t want to distract from the Wamara.

@ Cozmo, I doubt I am asking enough but I think it’s priced right for the small art show I am in the beginning of next month. I guess I will find out if it sells fast. LOL
