| Tasmanian Fiddleback Blackwood Crush/Grind Peppermill and Salt Shaker Set 6 inch Peppermill & 4 inch Salt Shaker The Australian Blackwood is an Acacia species native in eastern Australia. The species is also known as Sally Wattle, Lightwood, Hickory, Mudgerabah, Tasmanian Blackwood or Black Wattle. The wood is valued for its highly decorative timber which may be used as a cabinet timber, for musical instruments or in boatbuilding. Fiddleback is a form of wood figuring that forms when the grain of the woods run in contortions to normal grain patterns, and causes light to reflect differently and creates patterns of undulating waves. Fiddleback derived its name from the extended usage of this type of grain pattern in the manufacture of fiddles and violins and of late in guitars. Item Nr: 35-820 $120.00 |
