In our woodwoking “planet” , wood is the primary material we are dealing with and the properties and varieties it has are “countless” .
You can find common wood trunks , logs , et.c very easily and in best prices , but there is wood which you can find more rarely .
Some of the Rarest Wood Types on Earth , are :
1) The Lemon tree .
2) The Pear tree .
3) The Mulberry and the Wild one mostly .
4) Some very rare varieties of Walnuts – Chestnuts from the Mount Athos in Greece .
5) The Japanese Oak .
6) The Eastern Africa’s Olivewood .
7) The Silky Oak of Australia .
8) The Apple tree .
9) The Macassar Ebony , from India .
10) The Yamazukura Cherry from Japan .
11) The Iranian – Persian Boxwood .
12) The Sycamore Plane .
The Exotic Wood is also Rare to find .
The exotic trees in the world are producing very rare wood pieces and you should search and pay a lot of money to supply them .
Central Africa and Africa coutry in general , the distant areas in the states , the “wild” forests in Brazil , New Zealand , Australia , Mozambique , Madagascar , Argentina , Paraguay , India and many more are some exotic places , producing rare wood .
These wood pieces are very impressive to our “common” eyesight and they are very beautiful to create a wooden project .
Exotic and Rare Wood , exotic names .
Amaranth with an astonishing purple color , violet from Brazil , Greenheart from the US , Ebony from Africa Brazil , Iroko and Makore from the forests in Africa , the California’s famous Redwood , the very famous teak wood from many countries and North’s Amerika’s hickory are some of the more rarely to find wood , also .
The woodworking activity , is so huge and “Mysterious” .
Expensive wood exists , to make the best wood projects you like and its expensive not only for its beautiness , but for the big effort to get it .
You can find wood having several colors , properties , “water” shapes and other wood properties , but some wood pieces are difficult to find and supply .
The pine wood , the oak , the spruce and many other trees aren’t hard to find and they exist in great amounts . There are great wood and you can make so many useful wood plans for your home and your hobby .
Some wood is very difficult to find it in nature , in the size , quantities and shape we want , that’s why we say that it’s rare wood .
The walnut wood piece in your luxury car’s interior is very nice , but can you imagine how difficult is to “drag” the wood piece it needed , by the rose tree root , mainly ?
These roots should be big and well shaped enough , to use them in the interior of our cars and wherever else for our decoration . The rifle and gun manufacturers are very strict to their wood choices , because they want the best shaped “waters” for their guns .
Wooden furniture from Rare wood , needs “big wallet” .
The wooden furniture creators have their same mentality and a couple of years ago , some fellow sold an entire field in my village with very good quality’s walnuts and the money he got , was very – very good .
So if you want to make a wood plan and you want this to be from a “luxury” wood , you should be prepared to give a couple(!) of bucks more .
You know in life the rare “things” are expensive and hard to find , in any area .
The general “law” which exists for all the materials on earth , exists for the wood “planet” too . The rarer and harder it is to find(and shape) something , the higher its price .
Knowing as much as you can for the rare wood , you will have the ability to know if the price it has , is realistic or not .
Keep woodworking and keep “trusting” wood , to give you happiness .
