You can choose from different types of wood:

Dark Sono: This wood is known for its deep dark, almost black coloration with subtle purple or brown undertones. Dark Sono is very dense and resistant, which makes it ideal for fine carvings. The dark color gives the applicator a noble and luxurious look. Tamarind: Tamarind wood is characterized by its light, cream-colored to golden-brown color, often interspersed with wavy, darker stripes. It is relatively hard and very durable, but at the same time easy to work with, making it an excellent choice for detailed carvings. The high-contrast grains give the applicator a unique, natural look. Sawo: Also known as sapodilla, this wood has a warm, reddish-brown color that darkens over time and develops a beautiful patina. Sawo is a dense, fine-grained wood that lends itself well to precise carving. The rich color and fine texture give the applicator an elegant and timeless appearance. Coconut Wood: Also known as Coconut Timber, has a unique structure with an irregular grain and color variations from light to dark brown. This wood is extremely hard and resistant, which makes it ideal for everyday use. The exotic look of the coconut wood gives the applicator a rustic and at the same time tropical flair. Cemara: Cemara wood, also known as cypress, is a soft to medium-hard wood with a light, yellowish-white to pale brown color. It is easy to work with and has a uniform texture that makes it ideal for delicate carvings. The subtle grain and soft shade give the applicator a restrained and natural look. Crocodile Wood: This rare wood is known for its exceptionally light color, ranging from almost white to pale yellow, and its distinctive, scale-like grain reminiscent of crocodile skin. Crocodile wood is hard and durable, making it ideal for a long-lasting applicator. The unusual texture and bright appearance make the applicator a real eye-catcher. Teak: Teak wood is world-famous for its excellent durability and resistance to moisture and pests. It has a golden brown to dark brown color that gets even deeper over time. The dense structure and elegant grain make teak a prime choice for high-quality carvings. The teak applicator exudes elegance and durability and is an investment that will last for many years. Each of these types of wood gives your Kuipe self-applicator a unique look and feel, so you can choose the material that best suits your style and needs.
