Burmese Blackwood
Dalbergia cultrata
Burmese Blackwood is seldom every used on snooker or UK pool cues as it just isn’t used in this country by wood turners. I import this wood especially from America.
Burmese Blackwood is heavier and denser than ebony and is in the Rosewood genus, the gain is absolutely stunning, almost resembling feathers once rounded to shape. The heartwood ranges from deep black to dark, purple to then olive colour.
