A museum-worthy piece with outstanding rosewood burl and intricate figured wood top to bottom, some of my finest work. The handle is burl wood from the Dong Nai region of Southern Vietnam, its incredibly obscure and called: Dalbergia dongnaiensis. Interestingly, this was later discovered to be the same biological special as Dalbergia Oliveri, but the trees and wood had regional differences that were thought to be different species for decades until recent genetic study. This old “Dong Nai” rosewood is beyond rare, especially with such exquisite grain and rich color. In the divider is matching rosewood with solid brass and lapidary pins of “cobra verde” stone, a variety of serpentine from Brazil. Finally the shaft is a central American hardwood called “Granadillo” that has a lot of quality similarities with the rosewoods. This example has one of the rarest forms of figure called “pomelle”, that has a beautiful visual effect from top to bottom. This is functional artwork, its feels excellent in the hand and could be used daily if desired, or used for special occasions.
