This Tamarind Wood Misbaha is handcrafted with 8x11mm genuine natural tamarind wood beads. Tamarind (Tamarindus indica) is a leguminous tree that bears edible fruit, indigenous to tropical Africa and naturalized in Asia. Tamarind wood is a high-quality material often used in furniture making. It is known for its strength, durability, and resistance to decay and insect attacks. Exceptional Craftsmanship The tamarind wood is meticulously cut into cubes, removing the imperfections. These small cubes are lathed and polished to a natural shine to get the desired bead shapes. Having a tamarind tasbih means having a sustainable product that uses a natural material that would otherwise be discarded.
