 Handle: Snakewood (piratinera guianensis) 
 Props: Snakewood is an incredibly beautiful wood which originates mostly
 in Suriname, South America. It is one of the worlds hardest woods. The part
 sold as snakewood is really the heartwood of the larger tree. This wood is
 usually felled with axes and carried on the backs of hard working natives over
 streams and through snake infested jungle areas. Each tree felled is monitored,
 and the government has developed a strict permit process to control harvesting.
 Much of the wood has inferior or no figure, but the small amount that has
 attractive figure is exported. The name was inspired by the snakeskin-like
 markings that decorate this exotic wood. Initially deep red in color, snakewood
  changes color upon being exposed to air, which makes the wood eventually turn
  reddish brown; as you see it today.
 Wood Origin: Suriname, South America.
