Figured African Blackwood Turning Squares
Dalbergia melanoxylon
The heartwood is purplish to brownish-black with dark gray streaks giving an overall impression of being black. Lustrous with an attractive inner chatoyance. Very hard, heavy, close-grained, and virtually free from pores. Its stability and lovely tonal qualities make it an excellent instrument wood.
Due to CITES regulations, we can only ship this species to customers in the United States.

B has swirly grain and burl clusters.
C has swirly grain.
D has bird's-eyes. This square is probably the nicest of the bunch. It has bird's-eye down most of it's length and they show well on two faces. It's incredibly hard to photograph them unfortunately.
