Frake Noir

Knot-free

Near-black from the mill. No paint needed.

An extremely durable, thermally modified African hardwood. It machines superbly thanks to its tight, interlocking grain. Walnut-toned from the mill, weathering to a light shade of grey — or apply SIOO:X for a wonderfully light grey-white tone.
