Chinese Tallow Wood Slabs

The Chinese Tallow is better known as the Popcorn Tree in parts of the southern United States. This species has many uses outside of woodworking, in fact, it isn’t generally known for its woodworking capabilities. The seeds are incredibly waxy and are used to make candles and soap. All that wax makes Chinese Tallow the greatest source of vegetable oil in the world, a key ingredient in biodiesel. The wood displays a beautiful contrast between the sapwood and heartwood, but it lacks distinct demarcation lines. In woodworking, Chinese Tallow is most often used for lathe turning. It can cause some moderate allergic reactions, so care should be taken when working the wood. It makes stunning wall art and can be used in any place where you want an exclusive look. With a little creativity and care, these slabs offer the best in both eco-friendliness and desirability.
