African Bog Birch Turning Square

African Bog Birch is a historic hardwood that sat in peat bogs in West Africa for 1,000 years or more. During that time, it acquired a lot of minerals which darkened the wood and made it much more dense. This density rivals species like Bolivian Rosewood and Bocote, producing a very high polish in finished woodworking projects. This lumber has been kiln dried, surfaced on two sides, and is ready to use. Colors range from defined brown heartwood to whitish tan sapwood. African Bog Birch works easily with sharp tools. Take advantage of this extremely unique opportunity, as this is a species we've never had and didn't think we'd get in again. We have only a few pieces this time! This piece has bug holes. Please see pictures for details.
