But, I think these would look pretty neat made out of wood, maybe painted.
These are on a Wiccan site. Personally, I consider Wicca an oranized religion, so don't follow it.
JOAT Jesus was a Ford man, that's why he walked everywhere.

I notice there are a couple on that site that are made out of "Sheshemwood". Googled it and found a bunch of stuff made out of it but only one source for the wood itself, in India. The FPL database doesn't find it. Seems to be popular in India. Wonder if it's their name for something commonplace or if it's something wonderfully exotic with marvelous mystical properties or if it's a Wiccan thing or just cheap? Any ideas?

If I recall rightly, that derives from Sandskrit, and a rough, translation would be jummywood.

Every small box you see imported from India, especially those with the brass inlay, is made from sheshamwood. It seems to work nicely, for there are intricate carvings and inlays done with it, yet I've got a turned platter of the same stuff that's about 16" across and stable.
Never seen it as raw timber.
I think JOAT, the renowned Sanskrit expert, is correct in his translation as "jummywood"
