Description
Ebony (Diospyros spp.) is a legendary and luxurious hardwood, revered for its deep black to dark brown heartwood, often with subtle streaks or mottling. With an exceptionally fine texture and very high density, Ebony polishes to a sleek, mirror-like finish, making it one of the most visually striking and tactilely pleasing woods available.
Traditionally used in musical instruments, fine furniture, inlays, sculptural work, and luxury accents, Ebony is both durable and naturally resistant to decay. It is, however, a demanding wood to work with due to its hardness and brittleness, requiring sharp tools and careful handling.
As a naturally grown product, Ebony may contain small cracks—these are common and should be expected, especially in dense, slow-growing species. Such features are part of the wood’s authentic character and do not detract from its strength or visual appeal. Artisans often incorporate these natural traits into their designs, celebrating the wood’s unique formation.
Highly prized and increasingly rare, Ebony remains a hallmark of elegance and craftsmanship, perfect for projects where beauty, tradition, and distinction are paramount.
