undefined review of East Indian Rosewood Pepper Mill Blank image 1 out of 1

Randall O.Verified

Really nice cuts of wood. The grain is really tight on them, they are free from sapwood, and arrived with no cracks. Also, they shipped out promptly and arrived quickly. I will definitely buy from them again and can give them the highest recommendation.

Daniel F.Verified

Bought the American Hardwood combo pack for my first cutting board project. All the pieces were s4s and required very little machining to get really tight glue joints. Already planning on my next project and cannot recommend Exotic Woods enough. Bravo 👏

Very happy with my purchase, these will enhance my guitar beautifully. The only thing was the length of time with the shipping being longer than expected but apart from that, very happy and looking forward to doing more business. Thank you Exotic woods

Second order from Exotic and quality and delivery are great. I do segmented bowls and these strips are perfect size when split and used the cut wedges. Finish on wood is great and no prep is needed before use.

Jadon C.Verified

Used the walnut from exotic wood zone to do the trim on my router table build. I’ve used EWZ several times in the past and the pieces are always in great shape and as described not to mention the prices at EWZ are better then most other places I’ve shopped at for hard woods or exotics

Marvin L.Verified

While not perfectly black, these ebony blanks were excellent. I have not been able to get pure black ebony for quite some time now from any source. The surface quality was excellent, although I had to do some sanding to get them to my final desired thickness. The edges were not far from true, so did not take much effort to get a true edge for use with my fret template.

This is the first time working with exotic wood and first time buying it. I love how quickly both boards arrive and how easy it was to work with the online app. I like the wood so much I’m going to buy more to make a table for the back of my boat.

Daniel F.Verified

First time ordering but definitely not the last. Very pleased with the bowl blanks which I use to make hand crafted wooden putters. The fact they come kiln dried to roughly 7% is a huge plus and time saver. Can’t wait to put in my next order

Bennie H.Verified

All products I have received from Exotic Wood Zone have been excellent. This lot of olive wood blanks were beautiful. Equally important was the price. Unmatched by over ten suppliers. My pen blank purchases will be from here. And to go even further they labeled my groups of blanks. Thank you!

James B.Verified

First off, the customer service was outstanding. The staff worked around my travel schedule to accommodate delivery right when I could accept the package. Very cool of them to do. The two-piece blank itself is great - the seam is barely visible (the line in the picture is a pencil mark delineating the centerline for the bass) and tear out from planing is minimal. The wood quality is excellent, very clean, and free from defects.

As always the wood is beautiful and low moisture. The olive wood has a good coating of wax, but not bad to scrape off before using. Worth the effort for the gorgeous grain.

Blanks were of a good quality. Turning ebony is very satisfying. Images were for a commissioned job. A dad wanted a desk set for his two college kids for a Christmas gift.

This wood has an incredible pattern that has made some great bowls. It’s a little hard to work with, but the results are worth it. The blanks arrived in great condition, fully dried, and ready to turn.

Gary S.Verified

I have been a customer for nearly a couple years now. I buy small amounts, and mostly from the thin dimensional section. I love the exotic woods they offer, and I've always received excellent specimens of woods. Never had a crack, or any serious blemish in anything they've sent. I am very happy with the products and service of this supplier.

Excellent wood blank. The quality is really good and I am excited to start working the body of the guitar. It was well packaged and arrived without any issue. This is not my first purchase here, and it is totally recommended. All woods have great quality.

Bought this walnut to use for bottle openers, honey dippers, and other items for sale through craft shows and my Etsy store. Exotic Wood Zone ships super fast, and has great quality wood. Will buy from them again soon!

Ed D.Verified

This is a beautiful piece of wood. Using it to create a set of checkers to get the most use out of the maple/walnut board I made for the maple/padauk chess pieces. The red checkers are bloodwood. Turned a raised center on the top of the checkers to align with the 1" cavity on the underside. Used a butcher-block wax finish on the Zebra wood pieces, wipe on poly for the bloodwood pieces, which is un-necessary. Wax leaves a consistent, smooth surface.

Greg G.Verified

Easy deal and beautiful wood. A few worm holes but tiny and in the dark parts of the back so I left them alone. This replaced a pine body, vast improvement in every way except weight; not that this is heavy, but pine is very light.I would gladly recommend EWZ to anyone shopping for wood for a replacement body. Note that I purchased semi explorer to give the mill room to work. Milling done by IBILD.

I turn segmented bowls and the wood from Exotic comes ready to use. The quality and deliver are great. I order the 2" strips and split for material to cut into wedges for bowls. Again wood is ready to go and I do not have to worry about unusable pieces. Thanks for a great product at a good price.

I make Christian ornaments to give away to churches and various charities. Much of the wood I use comes from Exotic wood zone . I especially like using Black Palm wood for crosses. Recently I purchased black and white ebony and made several Celtic crosses from it . The picture shows the evolution from the wood block to the finished Celtic Cross.

I am a amateur woodworker and wanted to make a solid wood picture frame for someone special for the holidays. when I saw the walnut board from Exotic Wood Zone I knew I had to try to make the frame. Once the board arrived, I immediately got to work and for someone who doesn’t have a lot of woodworking experience I think the final result was outstanding. Thanks Exotic Wood Zone for providing such a beautiful piece of lumber!

I like this wood alot and they turn out crazy nice i have only had one problem with the wood i got ten pieces of this and I had two that i had cut for pens and they both came apart on me while I was cutting them on the machine it strange that never really happens and they were cut and drilled right so I guess maybe soft in the middle or something but will keep on with the rest and hopefully that was just a thing with just those two but like I said the wood looks insane and I really like it..ty a...

For a bulk pack I am very happy. Most were well book matched and showed good pattern. A little blue dye and they made a fascinating green. A little orange it it looks a whole lot like Orange Osage.

The Fijian mahogany was easy to work with, polished well. I made a "golf ball" about 2 1/2" and mounted it on a cocobolo tee on a cherry base.

I just started on a coffee table, so it will take a while to finish. I like these a lot. They are defective for music but can be used in other ways.
