Staghorn Sumac Folder Knife Scales 120 x 40 x 4 mm

The stag-horn sumac tree (Rhus typhina) is a very widespread fast-growing, short-lived beautiful small tree, that produces very attractive wood. Sumac heartwood is olive-green to greenish yellow to russet brown with dark streaks, light weight, soft and brittle, with a very attractive high luster. Due to its short lifetime large diameters are extremely rare, 15 to 20 cm is very much already. The wood dries fast and well and is easy to be worked with, due to its restricted availability it has always been a special wood for turnings and small works of art.
