WILDLY VARIEGATED! Black & White Ebony

A distinctive, rare, true Ebony, Black & White Ebony originates from Southeast Asia and Laos. By definition, Ebony has no hue, but rather contains neutral colors like black or

white. This special variety has inky black variegations flowing through pale milky white. It is an incredible wood with amazing color contrast. The wood density ranges from .67 to 1.02 depending on the coloration. It is excellent for turning and for use in fancy articles. When turned or finish sanded on boxes it is possible to obtain a high glass-like natural polish. Diospyros embryopteris.

The wood in this special has air dried for 1-1/2 to 2 years. It has lost between 50%-75% of its original moisture. The ends are wax sealed on the fingerboards, bridge blanks, headplates, and knife scales. All other pieces are fully wax sealed. A few boards will have a check or two on one face with the best face being 90% clear or better.  Instrument parts are free of checks on both faces. As the wood dries, the larger boards can develop checks or other defects if dried too quickly or not properly cared for. If you have any questions about care of the wood we’ll be happy to assist you! This is THE FANCIEST batch that we have ever had with all "A" grade wood!
