Ebony 40x40x600 mm

Ebony, which grows in West Africa around the equator, is most commonly found in countries such as Nigeria, Cameroon, and Gabon. It is a dark wood with an almost jet-black color, often with few or no visible grain patterns. However, dark brown or grayish areas may occasionally appear in the wood, adding a natural variation to its otherwise uniform appearance.

The structure of ebony is extremely dense, making it both heavy and hard. This density provides ebony with its unique durability, but it also means that working with it can be challenging and often requires specialized tools. Sanding ebony releases a significant amount of black dust, which can be messy and requires precautions for a safe working environment.

Due to its deep black color and distinct durability, ebony is used in a range of high-quality products. It is highly valued in the production of musical instruments, such as piano keys and guitar fingerboards, where strong, durable materials are essential. Additionally, it is used in luxury items like billiard cues and decorative crafts, where its elegant appearance and exclusive qualities are much appreciated.
