Laburnum a prized wood for decorative items.  Its stunning grain and contrasting colours adds something special to a piece.  Sealed and waxed to bring out the best of the grain.  a mahogany stem finishes the piece.  Pictures are samples of apples in stock or past apples due to stock constantly changing.  The apple you receive  may have slight grain differences to those shown, but will still be to the highest quality and are often made to order.
