Natural wood is the main raw material we use to make our handles.

The various types of wood we use are selected and treated under rigorous quality controls. Sourced from around the world, they carry the appropriate FSC® and PEFC certifications, depending on the species. We offer a wide variety of woods with different hardness, grain, color, texture, density, and specific gravity, depending on the type of wood you choose.

Features

Natural wood remains one of the most highly valued materials for the manufacture of handles, grips, and technical components thanks to its combination of strength, lightness, ergonomics, and natural beauty. Each species has its own grain, color, and mechanical properties, allowing us to select the most suitable material for each application. At Núñez Handles, we work with a wide selection of woods sourced from trusted suppliers, carefully chosen for their quality, stability, and performance during machining. Each piece retains its unique character, adding personality and distinction to the final product.

In addition to their aesthetic appeal, many types of wood offer excellent wear resistance and a warm, comfortable feel—qualities that are especially valued in tools and products used frequently. Depending on the project, we can advise on the most suitable wood species based on requirements for strength, weight, finish, or appearance. Our expertise in wood machining, combined with our manufacturing processes and quality control, allows us to offer components with high dimensional accuracy and a uniform finish, tailored to each manufacturer’s specifications.
