Gaboon Ebony – 1-12 x 1-12 x 18 – Kiln Dried

Wait no longer to turn your project. Blanks have been kiln-dried and can be turned immediately; no more worries about moisture.
Gaboon Ebony (Diospyros spp.) heartwood is usually jet black with little to no variation or visible grain. Occasionally dark brown or grayish-brown streaks may be present. Ebony has a fine texture with mostly straight grain. This wood can be difficult to work due to its extremely high density, but worth the reward. It has a dulling effect on cutters. Tear-out may occur on pieces that have interlocked or irregular grain. Common uses include small ornamental projects, such as piano keys, musical instrument parts, pool cues and carvings.

Notes:

• Wood is a product of nature, and as such, no two pieces are alike to start. The same wood growing in different locales can vary greatly even though it is the exact same species.
• Due to the nature of wood movement, shrinkage and expansion are possible. Please measure each piece carefully before starting any project.
