Knife Handle - Lagerstroemia Burl

Lagerstroemia, commonly known as Asian Satinwood, is an exotic wood species native to East Asia. It is highly valued for its aesthetic beauty and excellent workability, making it a popular choice for fine craftsmanship such as knife handles and turned objects.

The heartwood is characterized by its warm golden to reddish-brown tones, while the sapwood appears lighter, in shades of yellow or gray. Over time, the wood's colors deepen and become richer, especially with exposure to light, further enhancing its natural beauty.

One of the most distinctive features of Lagerstroemia is its curly grain pattern, which frequently occurs in this species. This natural texture adds a unique visual appeal, with some pieces displaying particularly striking and detailed curls.

With its combination of strength, beauty, and versatility, this wood is an excellent choice for artisans seeking a premium and visually stunning material for projects like knife handles, decorative pieces, and turned works.
