Satinwood Ceylon- is a beautiful, exotic hardwood that can have deep penetrating curl.  Originating from S. E. Asia, it is often confused with Curly Pyinma if it has curl on the US market; however they are two seperate species.  The Satinwood tree also produces un-figured stock that is used for cabinets, floors, and other projects in Asia.  Stable in service with darker colors than Eastern Maples.  Susceptible to surface checks and pin holes before drying.  Excellent for pool cues, knives, duck calls, and pen stock.
