Description
Grass Tree Root (Xanthorrhoea spp.), native to Australia, is a unique and highly textured material prized for its striking appearance and durability. This dense, resin-rich root system features a mix of deep brown, golden, and black tones, often with intricate, naturally occurring patterns that make each piece one-of-a-kind.
Due to its high resin content, Grass Tree Root is exceptionally durable and polishes to a glossy, almost stone-like finish, enhancing its organic beauty. It is naturally resistant to moisture and wear, making it an excellent choice for knife scales that require both aesthetics and functionality. The material can be challenging to work with due to its density, but with sharp tools and patience, it yields a stunning, high-end result.
Each set of Grass Tree Root knife scales is unique, with variations in colour, grain, and pattern. Sizes are approximate due to the irregular shaping of the root, and some natural inclusions or voids may be present, adding to its rustic and artistic appeal.
With its exotic texture, deep coloration, and high durability, Grass Tree Root is a standout choice for knife makers seeking a truly distinctive and rare material for custom handles.
