INCLUDES 1 WOOD BLANK (several blanks are shown to indicate the range of color/grain to expect). A classic from SE Asia, Black & White Ebony is predominantly golden white with contrasting variegated black ink lines. Blanks have dried for one year, and contains some residual moisture. All are completely wax sealed. Stripes will vary from piece to piece but they all have varying degrees of black contrast (2 stripes or more). This material turns to a glass-like natural polish and works very easily; however it is prone to cracking and checking along the black stripes. For best results, turn & seal in one sitting. Skill level: Advanced.
