Pea Patch Minstrel Style Bones are perfect for thrifty living-history minstrel band performers, Civil War reenactors or any bones connoisseur on a budget. SOLID TIGERWOOD: Tigerwood is a rare exotic heavy dense wood that delivers a solid sharp tone. These Tigerwood Bones are quite hard and dense. The heartwood is a bronze color highlighted by dark variegated streaks. The tiger-like grain is typically interlocked, but sometimes straight. The quartersawn wood produces an attractive ribbon pattern in the grain with alternating zones of dark and light wood figuring. The grain is certainly intriguing. But it also makes for a rough surface. Still, players clearly like the sound and solid weight.

Now you can treat yourself to rare budget-priced rhythm bones made from exotic Tigerwood.
