This listing is for 25 pounds = around 7 to 8 board feet of the finest, highly figured tropical exotic woods. This is a sample pack with an assortment of unfinished pieces and a variety of species. This pack includes shorts and cutoffs. This is a great listing for someone who makes pens, marquetry, intarsia, or for small crafts. These woods have been kiln dried. They are great for testing finishes or turning to see if you like a wood.   You can check our Diamond Tropical Hardwoods website to see the species that we sell.

Here is a list of the woods that we sell: teak, yellowheart, orangeheart, redheart, santa maria, bastard lignum vitae, goncalo alves tigerwood, granadillo, monkeypod, santa maria, bocote (unfigured unfortunately–this is codria alliadora =scientific or latin name), Costa Rica Mahogany (known as pochote = bombacopsis =scientific or latin name) and mango. This 25 pounds of wood will include some of these species. The pictures show some of our beautiful wood made into nice things.   We also sell some species of wood that are regulated by the CITES permits–cocobolo rosewood, Spanish cedar, and mahogany.   These three woods will NOT be in the 25 pound sample pack.  If you want these species of cocobolo rosewood, Spanish cedar, and mahogany then please buy the 35 pound sample pack. 

We have low temperature humidification kilns so the wood dries slowly and will not have stresses, checking, and problems associated with high temperature kiln drying. Your purchase will help us to continue reforesting abandoned cattle pastures in Costa Rica, a country that has had some of the highest deforestation rates in the world. We have been in business for more than 20 years and have a platinum reputation for quality and service.
