West African Ebony Guitar Finger Boards

Sometimes called Gabon or Gaboon, this Ebony is sometimes jet black but oftentimes has grayish streaks that mostly disappear when finished or after the made object has been put into service. This Ebony has a marked resistance to checking that is characteristic of some of the Indian and Asian species. It has a wonderful texture and is easily carved, planed, turned, and milled. It is fairly fine-grained and takes a high polish. This Ebony usually originates in either Cameroon or Nigeria and the logs are rough hewn in the forest and oftentimes brought to the nearest road by human porters. With the disappearance of other species of black Ebony this species is fast becoming the Ebony of choice.

Figured African Blackwood Turning Squares/Knife Handle Billets

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.

A has a "swimming fish" figure which looks like a school of fish swimming against a current. I think it is likely bird's-eyes cut at a bias which produces this unique figure.

B has cluster burls and bird's-eyes.
C has bird's-eyes and swirly grain.
D has cluster burls and swirly grain.
E has a sort of crinkled, swirly grain and some light bird's-eyes. It looks magnificent in direct sunlight.
