Leopardwood — bold ray fleck spots that genuinely resemble leopard hide, set against a reddish-brown background. Hard and naturally durable with no stabilization needed. The spot pattern bookmatches across a set in a way that few other woods can replicate.
Padauk — brilliant orange-red African hardwood that patinas naturally to a deep reddish-brown over time. Dense and naturally stable — no stabilization needed. The color is one of the most vivid available in a natural hardwood.
Purpleheart — vivid natural purple heartwood from Central and South America that deepens to a rich brown-purple over time with light exposure. Exceptionally hard and rot-resistant with no stabilization needed. One of the most distinctive colors available in natural hardwood.
American black walnut — rich chocolate-brown with straight open grain that feels solid without being heavy. One of the most practical premium materials: stable, takes finishes beautifully, and dark enough to hide everyday handling.
Wenge — dramatic dark brown Central African hardwood with striking black streaks running through each set. Coarse open grain is stabilized to fill the pores and deliver a smooth, even finish. The dark color and bold figure make these one of the most distinctive scale materials available.
Zebrawood — unmistakable cream-and-dark-brown stripes from West Africa that make these immediately recognizable. Interlocked grain is stabilized to fill the pores and prevent seasonal movement in scale applications. The contrast between light and dark reads boldly on a finished handle.
