Rare & Exotic Pink Ivory Spindle Turning Blanks

Pink Ivory (Berchemia zeyheri) is one of the rarest and most striking hardwoods in the world, prized for its vivid color and fine grain.

Native to southern Africa, this exotic wood ranges in color from soft rose to deep coral pink, with occasional purples or reds. The color can deepen over time, especially when exposed to light, giving each piece a unique and evolving character.

Its texture is fine and smooth, with a generally straight grain that polishes to a beautiful, natural luster.

 It cuts cleanly with sharp tools and holds crisp detail, finishing to a glass-like smoothness. The wood is stable and resists movement or cracking, making it ideal for small precision work like pens, jewelry, and ornamental pieces. Due to its density, slower speeds and light passes are recommended for the best results.
