Pink Ivory Spindle Blank

Pink Ivory is one of the rarest and most coveted timbers in the world — a wood so extraordinary it was once reserved for Zulu royalty. Its vivid, natural pink to deep rose colouring is entirely unique in the woodturner's palette, and no two pieces are alike. Dense, fine-grained, and a joy to turn, it produces spindles of real presence and beauty.
