These pieces have exceptional color and excellent quality! Some have a sapwood corner edge that will easily turn away or can be used for fantastic contrast. The larger bowl blanks have developed a deep rich black color. The smaller pieces appear lighter purple in color but will turn to the rich purple/black that you love within two months! All material has been cut for a year and wax sealed. Pieces do contain some residual moisture. You may find some surface checks in sapwood or heartwood face. Some will turn, some will not and you must be able to work with the natural properties of this incredibly huge piece specially milled for large bowl blanks. Only ones in North America and worth every penny!!

INCLUDES 1 WOOD BLANK (several blanks are shown to indicate the range of color/grain to expect). Mexican Royal Ebony, otherwise known as Katalox, is a unique and very dense hardwood from the Yucatan peninsula. Its workability is very similar to other Ebony and in fact, it's listed as a suitable substitute for Luthiers in place of African Ebony. Dark, rich purple/black color ages darker over time. This stock is wax sealed and has been drying since the summer of 2016, though it does contain residual moisture.
