KingwoodIt is a classic furniture wood, almost exclusively used for inlays on very fine furniture. Occasionally it is used in the solid for small items and turned work, including parts of billiard cues. It is brownish-purple with many fine darker stripes and occasional irregular swirls. Occasionally it contains pale streaks of a similar colour to the sapwood. The wood is very dense and hard and can be brought to a spectacular finish. Kingwood doesn’t change very much as you wear it although it may darken a little. |
