"Palm wood" is that of different species of palm trees. All these woods have in common a cable structure which makes the trunk flexible and almost unbreakable.

The marked structure of its fibers makes palm wood a rather difficult material to work, but on the other hand the bundles of dark brown fibers integrated into the light heartwood give it an extremely lively aesthetic, which makes it desirable for knife handles and jewelry.

High-end mechanism from Thiers. 12 C 27 steel.

Spring guilloche work done by me.
