Tropical blackwood live edge slab, one only

This tropical blackwood live edge slab is a single piece of Albizia. This piece is the widest slab in this parcel, golden heartwood with dark streaks and pale sapwood down both edges. The slab in the photos is the slab you get.

What is Tropical Blackwood?

Tropical blackwood is our name for this Albizia. It grows into a big tree, which is why it gives wide slabs, and its golden heartwood carries dark chocolate streaks against pale sapwood.

Working a tropical blackwood live edge slab

• Surface: Double dressed, faces only. The edges are left natural.
• Weight: Moderate for its size, so a wide slab is still manageable.
• Grain: Interlocked in places, with bold streaked figure.
• Machining: Works well with sharp tools. Take light passes across interlocked grain.
• Finishing: Takes oil and wax well. We recommend Rustins Danish oil to bring up the contrast between sapwood and heartwood.
• Natural features: Bark, sapwood, checks and holes are part of the character and are shown in the photos. We recommend removing the bark before use, as it tends to fall off naturally over time.

Good projects

• A coffee table or side table top
• A desk or console top
• A bar top, bench top or wall-mounted feature piece
