Regular Pea Patch Minstrel-style Teak Bones
Traditional minstrel design, exotic wood...plain price
Teak is an exotic species of wood that delivers a medium tone.
Native to Burma and India, teakwood is hard, strong, heavy and very attractive. The wood is prized for its outstanding durability under both wet and dry conditions.
In its purest form teakwood is a uniform dark golden-brown without markings. But most teakwoods, like these Teak Minstrel-style Bones, are dark golden yellow highlighted by rich brown and darker chocolate-brown markings.
The grain is generally straight but occasionally wavy, and the texture is coarse and uneven. The wood is somewhat greasy and may contain white shiny deposits. Freshly milled teakwood is reported to have an aroma similar to leather.
Historically Accurate Design
The most popular woods during the American Minstrel Era were Ebony and Rosewood. Some folks made their own bones from local hardwoods.
Now you can treat yourself to rare budget-priced rhythm bones made from exotic Teak. They're patterned after vintage Percy Danforth Minstrel Style Bones made by the late master woodcrafter, Ray Schairer (1922 - 2011).
