Tree Ornament made with Kingwood. Christmas Tree OrnamentsI wouldn't have believed it had I not seen it. Though not chrome, shiny or lighted, these ornaments show up exceptionally well on your tree, day or night. They add a touch of class and we feel bring the meaning of Christmas back to 'natural' things. When made from Bethlehem Olivewood, it seems to have a natural place on the tree or from any hanging surface at Christmas time. KINGWOOD (Dalbergia congestifloria) This rich dark wood has a luxurious straight grain and fine texture. It is found primarily in So. America, primarily in Brazil. Common names include violetwod, violetta, and violete. Although very strong and tough in all wood strength categroies, Kingwood is mostly used for decrorative purposes since its use is restricted by the small sizes available. Today the wood is chiefly used in a veneer form for inlays and marquetry. |
