Spalted Tamarind Wood Block (30 x 50 x 150mm)

Spalted Tamarind Wood Block (30 x 50 x 150mm)

Spalted Tamarind Knife Blocks are a feast for the eyes, featuring dramatic spalting lines that carve their way through warm, honey-brown tones in a way that looks almost painted by nature. The contrast between the dark spalting and the rich underlying wood creates a truly mesmerising effect that is unlike any other. This stunning combination of colour and texture makes these knife blocks a show-stopping addition to any Knife.

It is important to note that Spalted Tamarind is a naturally soft wood, and stabilization is highly recommended particularly for knife handles. Stabilizing the wood hardens and reinforces the fibres from within, making it far more durable and resistant to moisture, cracking and wear that a knife handle will inevitably face. While it can be used in its raw state, doing so is best suited to decorative or light-use applications. For a handle that will stand the test of time, a stabilized Spalted Tamarind block is the way to go.
