Spalted Tamarind

Spalted Tamarind, native to Southeast Asia and Africa, is a visually captivating hardwood with a pale creamy to golden base color, highlighted by dark, intricate spalting lines created by fungal activity. This natural process forms one-of-a-kind, artistic patterns that often require stabilization to enhance its durability. Tamarind features a coarse texture and interlocking grain, which can make machining challenging, but it finishes beautifully, resulting in a smooth, polished surface that showcases its unique patterns.
