Kingwood, a true Rosewood, has rich & regal purple/black color with interesting golden and white sapwood contrast. This lumber has been carefully kiln dried and surfaced on two sides. There may be a rustic live edge with machete cuts and an occasional check may also be present. Overall, very clean material. This ships to USA only! This bookmatch set has some live edge on one piece. There is a 10" heart check on one of the pieces.
