Description

This beautiful hand turned Kaleidoscope Egg is made from exotic Bolivian Rosewood also known as Morado and Santos Rosewood from Tropical South America (mainly Brazil and Bolivia). It's true name is Pau Ferro and it's not really a Rosewood, But it's as close as you can get to being a true rosewood as a species can get without actually being a Dalbergia species. All metal parts on the scope are 24k gold plate. Egg comes with a Brass metal stand.


Egg and stand together are about 3 3/4" tall 


Pictures are examples of what you will receive. Because this is a natural wood item your purchase will vary in color and grain pattern.


Views through the scope are examples. Views will vary and are unique to each scope.


Be sure to read some of my reviews!

Pau ferro (Machaerium spp.) is a wood of many names, and is sometimes called Morado, Caviuna—and because the wood is so similar in appearance and working properties to rosewood, it is also sometimes referred to as Bolivian or Santos rosewood. The wood has been used in various capacities as a substitute for the endangered Brazilian rosewood (Dalbergia nigra).
​
Although the wood is not technically in the Dalbergia genus, Pau Ferro (Machaerium species) is botanically very closely related to true rosewoods, both being subdivided within the Fabaceae family into the tribe Dalbergieae and even further into the subclade Dalbergia. Additionally, Pau Ferro contains the same sensitizing compounds found in rosewoods, it’s about as close to a true rosewood as a species can get without actually being a Dalbergia species.
