Product Description

Knob Thorn Bowl Blank 8″ x 2″

ACACIA NIGRESCENS, commonly known as KNOB THORN due to the knobby protrusions on the trunk.

Air and kiln dried.

Also known as Giraffe Thorn due to the way they (carefully) eat the seed pods from this tree.

The timber is reddish brown with a very fine, dense texture.

It looks something like a dark Iroko if you know this timber, but is better for turning and fine detail. Ideal for boxes and spindle work.
