Some years ago I bought a blank sold as “Black Cumaceba” from Tropical Exotic Hardwoods<\/a> based in San Diego. At the time, I lived in Georgia so shipping was prohibitively expensive, at times more costly than the wood itself, so I only bought blanks that I had never heard of elsewhere and that included Cumaceba.<\/p>\n My usual sources are silent on the subject of Cumaceba so I can’t claim to know a great deal about it but I do know that it comes from South America, most often from the Amazon region of Peru.<\/p>\n
