Lovely scent and texture

The wood arrived well-packaged and had a pleasant, natural woody scent. The texture is incredibly smooth even before sanding. I'm using these scraps to practice my carving techniques, and they are forgiving yet durable.

Authentic Golden Silk effect

As a long-time woodworker, I can confirm this is genuine Golden Silk Nanmu. The chatoyancy is real and not painted on. It carves smoothly with both hand tools and rotary instruments. Highly recommended for handheld ornaments.

Good value for collectors

If you are looking for high-end wood scraps for small projects, this is a solid choice. The ebony pieces are dense and dark, pairing perfectly with the golden nanmu. One star off only because I wished there were slightly larger pieces included.

Great variety in the mix

I bought this for embellishing some collector's gourds. The mix of ebony and nanmu provides a nice contrast. Most pieces were a good size, though a couple were smaller than I expected. Overall, excellent quality for the price.

Perfect for small seal projects

The grain on these Phoebe Zhennan scraps is absolutely stunning. The golden shimmer catches the light beautifully when polished. I used a few pieces to carve custom seals, and the wood held fine details exceptionally well without splintering.

Exceeded expectations

I was hesitant to buy scrap wood online, but the quality here is top-notch. No cracks or rot, just beautiful, usable material. I made a small pendant and a decorative box lid, and both turned out magnificent.

5 FAQ

Q: Can I use these pieces for food-contact items like chopsticks?

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

Q: Are these wood pieces treated with any chemicals or finishes?

A: No, these are raw, air-dried wood scraps. They have not been treated with chemicals, stains, or finishes, making them safe for direct handling and carving.

Q: How should I store these scraps before using them?

A: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity changes. Keeping them in a sealed bag with a silica gel packet helps maintain their stability before carving.

Q: Is this wood suitable for beginners using basic carving knives?

A: Yes, Phoebe Zhennan and Ebony are dense but carve cleanly with sharp tools. Beginners may find it slightly harder than basswood, but it is excellent for learning to work with hardwoods.

Q: What is the average size of the largest pieces in the pack?

A: While sizes vary as these are scraps, the largest pieces typically range between 6cm to 8cm in length. The majority are suitable for small items like seals or beads.
