Authentic Ink-Gold Nanmu

It is hard to find genuine Ink-Gold Nanmu these days. These blocks are authentic with visible golden threads. They carve like a dream and take polish exceptionally well.

Stunning contrast between woods

Using the ebony and nanmu together in mixed-media ornaments creates a stunning visual contrast. The blocks arrived well-packaged and ready to work on immediately.

Excellent for beginners and pros

I am new to wood carving and these blocks were forgiving enough for learning but high quality enough for my mentor to use for demonstration. No cracks or defects found.

Great quality, varied sizes

The quality of the wood is excellent. Just note that while they are all 'small squares,' there is slight variation in dimensions which is expected for raw material. Perfect for practice pieces.

Perfect density for seal carving

The ebony blocks are incredibly dense and hold fine details beautifully. The nanmu has a lovely golden grain that adds character to my gourd projects. Highly recommended for serious hobbyists.

Beautiful raw material

I bought these to make handmade beads. The wood cuts smoothly without splintering, and the natural scent is pleasant. The square shape makes it easy to start turning on the lathe.

5 FAQ

Q: What are the approximate dimensions of the small square blocks?

A: The blocks typically range from 2cm to 4cm per side. Since this is natural raw material, exact dimensions may vary slightly per piece, but they are all suitable for small-scale carving.

Q: Are these blocks treated with any chemicals or preservatives?

A: No, these blocks are 100% raw natural wood, kiln-dried only to reduce moisture content. They contain no chemical treatments, making them safe for all crafting purposes.

Q: Do you offer bulk discounts for large orders?

A: Yes, we offer tiered pricing for bulk purchases. Please contact our sales team directly through the 'Contact Seller' button with your desired quantity for a custom quote.

Q: Is the ebony dyed or naturally black?

A: Our ebony is naturally black. We do not use any dyes or stains on our raw materials; the color comes entirely from the natural properties of the wood species.

Q: Can I use these blocks for food-contact items like chopsticks or bowls?

A: While the wood is natural, we recommend these specifically for decorative items like seals, beads, and ornaments. For food-contact items, please ensure you apply food-safe finishes and verify local safety regulations.
