Its often been used as mallet heads, since it is very heavy and resistant to spliting. True lignum vitae is now an endangered species and can't legally be harvested, but as it often happens with wood, other species are still sold under that name and no doubt there are still leftover stocks available.

This is Eveready. Actually, the scales have a greener cast to them which I failed to capture in these pictures. The grain shows up fairly well, though the depth is missing. I like the "tweedy" look on the top shot.
