Gaiac wood handle

Its Latin origin "lignum vitae" means "wood of life", Gaïac wood is indeed one of the densest among tropical woods. This very hard and heavy wood is used in various fields. It is found in the manufacture of furniture, certain parts for boats, wooden games (especially for the manufacture of "bourles", wooden discs used in a game still played in the north of France) but also in jewelry.
