| PINK IVORY |
|
The rarity of Pink Ivory has made this wood highly sought after by woodworkers around the world. Pink Ivory is commonly used by wood carvers & turners for inlay or items such as bowls, pool cue butts, chess pieces, golf putters, knife handles, and wild game calls. It is not easy to find Pink Ivory blanks much wider than 6 inches because the trees, mostly found in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique, are relatively narrow when compared to such trees as the American Maple. Exotic Woods USA's stock comes primarily from South Africa. Pink Ivory is very hard and dense (sharp tools are needed to work with this wood), having an average specific gravity of about 0.90. The heartwood ranges in color from light pink to an almost bright red. Our Pink Ivory blanks are divided into three categories: Regular, Select, and Premium. Please note that the color Pink Ivory may change over time based on each particular piece, the finish used and the amount of sunlight it is exposed to, causing the brighter pink color to possibly fade to a muted browner shade. |
