***Just a note about the Spalted Tamarind I procured a few
months ago. There is a lot of spalting in most of my pieces,
which is fungus doing it’s ‘thing’ in wood…you can have
spalting in just about any wood under the right
circumstances. My pieces of this wood will
require a great amount of stabilizing with non-toxic, food-
safe materials, and I mean on the order of taking a week or
more for curing and drying days in my multi-stage process. I
finish my fancy-grained woods with gloss wipe-on poly, which
accentuates the patterns and seals this wood for a lifetime to
come. More boards of this unusual wood await, which means
more flutes coming out…in time. :-)
I have thought long and hard over this one. I have very
few “keeper” flutes, and this one was going to be the first
one i’ve decided to keep in over 10 years.
But I have projects and goals I’m trying to reach, along
with paying bills, and I’ve decided to let it go. Yes, it has a
higher price tag, so if it doesn’t get adopted I’ll still have
it. But if you want one crazy beautiful playing flute that’s a
showpiece, this is it.
This is an A4 in Corkscrew Willow that I collected by the
creek at the Waynesville, NC dog park, which Hurricane
Helene destroyed.
$450
Bb4 in heavily spalted Tamarind
with a Morado sweeptail bird.
(The wood has been stabilized
with non-toxic and food-safe
materials for safety.)
$440
From the left, the
2nd and 3rd flutes
are G4 in a new
wood I’ve never
used before: Beli
(BAY-lee), from
Africa. Looks like
Zebrawood, but
darker lines are
much closer
together.
Compared to the
Chechens, the
voices are softer as
the wood is softer,
FYI.
$310 each, which
includes S/H
A4 in figured Chechen,
with stylized Maple bird
block. A bright bold
player, this one. $350
coming soon!
Bb3 in
Philippine
Mahogany
$380
G4 in Wormy Chestnut from Hemphill Road near
me, which is where ‘Popcorn’ Sutton grew up. If
you don’t know him, look him up. :-)
ADOPTED!
I have more of this wood, so more coming
out! Inquire for details and keys…
