What is Ebony Wood?

Ebony stands out as a premium wood variety, esteemed for its exceptional quality and demanding craftsmanship. With its remarkable density, deep black hue, and enduring nature, ebony finds diverse applications.

This substantial black hardwood predominantly thrives in Africa. Ebony encompasses a group of species, exceeding ten in number, each sharing commonalities yet presenting distinct characteristics in weight, Janka Hardness, grain patterns, and more. Primarily sought after for crafting high-quality furniture, musical instrument components, and decorative pieces, ebony's versatility shines.

Its exceptional stability and durability make it a prime choice for furniture production, distinguishing it from other hardwoods. Renowned for its ability to yield exquisite cabinetry, intricate inlays, musical instrument parts, and ornamental items, ebony wood commands attention for its unparalleled quality and elegance.

Workability

Due to its density and severe blunting impact on cutting edges, it is generally difficult to deal with. It can be challenging to dry, and checks or other drying faults may appear. The wood works beautifully to turn items.

Sustainability

Due to its ability to store and sequester carbon, ebony wood is typically considered a sustainable wood. Despite being on the IUCN Red List, ebony wood species are not included in the CITES Appendices. In the last three generations, its population has fallen by around 20%.

Common Uses

High-end furniture, musical instrument production, including piano keys, production of natural wood veneers, sculptures, carving, and turned artefacts.
