Striped Ebony
(Diospyros sp.)
Two-piece, Book-matched Guitar Sides

This wood originated from a small, sparsely inhabited island off the east coast of New Guinea. Some of these trees grow to enormous dimensions. One of the first logs we received from here was 3 ½ feet in diameter, 18 feet long, and weighed 7 tons. It is fine-grained and takes a glassy smooth finish.

Striped Ebony
(Diospyros sp.)
Guitar Sides

This wood originated from a small, sparsely inhabited island off the east coast of New Guinea. Some of these trees grow to enormous dimensions. One of the first logs we received from here was 3 ½ feet in diameter, 18 feet long, and weighed 7 tons. It is fine-grained and takes a glassy smooth finish. Most of these pieces have a ‘marble-cake’ look to the end grain that is outstanding.
