Trinket Pot 11 – Ebony & Rosewood

A beautiful handcrafted wooden Trinket Pot made from Rosewood, which is hard, tough and very strong wood. It is best known as “Brazilian rosewood” but also as “Bahia rosewood”. The wood has a strong, sweet smell, which persists for many years, explaining the name rosewood and has an attractive wood grain,. It is polished very well to a high sheen and is highly resistant to wear and tear. The handle is Ebony, which is a dense black/brown hardwood. Unlike most woods, ebony is dense enough to sink in water. It is finely textured and has a mirror finish when polished, making it valuable as an ornamental wood. The wood was turned on a lathe to create the unique, beautiful trinket pot and then finished with shellac and hand-polished with four coats of black bison clear polish to bring about the beautiful shiny look and smooth feel.
