As part of a conversation I was having with Rare Woods I was asked to ask to start a new thread about just what people consider are the rarest woods in the world. Some of you have been collecting for many years and have knowledge about the rarity of woods and how hard it is to find them. Well, my thought was, let's make a list or talk about it. Not only would it be fun but very educational. Please include whether the woods are burls or not. Even historical woods can be listed.
Let's start it out by listing these.
1 Tzu-t'an
2 Huanghuali, Huali
3 Jichimu, qizimu
4 jinsi Nanmu
5 Tortoise Shell Quilted Mahogany
6 American Smoke Tree burl, Chittam wood (Cotinus Obovatus)
