Workshop notes
What you see. What we know.
Every listing is written from the piece or lot we have in front of us. When a photo represents the exact piece, we say so; when a listing represents a matched set or repeatable stock, we describe that instead. Measurements are practical workshop measurements, and species uncertainty stays visible rather than being turned into a fact.
Wood-use safety: unless a listing explicitly confirms treatment history and suitability for another use, Exotica wood is sold for woodworking and craft use. Recovered or industrial-packaging-origin material can have an unknown treatment history, including possible prior phytosanitary fumigation such as methyl bromide (MB). Do not purchase or use it for animal bedding, smoking or cooking food, food-contact applications, or intentional use as shavings or chips.
