Black & White Ebony

Black and White ebony is a rare member of the ebony family, found mostly in Laos. It tends to crack easily and we recommend special procedures for drying pieces thicker than 3/4 inch thick. Note that some pieces of Black & White Ebony have a few tiny (usually 2mm) insect holes and/or hairline checks—this is normal and is best finished by putting superglue (the black kind looks great!) in the holes/checks. The only fairly reliable way to dry this wood is to turn it completely down to a thin walled piece all in one setting. We also suggest you spread superglue, especially on the end-grain during the turning process, we do some of this glueing for you initially to most pieces. Finish the project in one sitting if possible, and apply shellawax cream as a finish. The piece will then dry very slowly through the shellawax, with minimal or no distortion.

🪵 Good to know

Do not part turn these pieces to dry them unless you have some magic we don’t have!

Note: Most pieces we now sell are already dried to take the drying problems out of the picture for you.  Dried pieces are marked as dried in the description.

Black & White Ebony 300to306

Rare Black & White ebony from Laos.   Very hard to get and currently no way to resupply. Our pieces stand out because:  They are dried, the cracks have been removed and  pieces are cut straight.  You will usually pay more online without getting any of these three important things !

Black & White Ebony 423-429

Really tough to find this wood sold dried, usually it is green. These have been tested to be 12% or less with a moisture meter that adjusts for the species, other meters don't work well. NOTES: some of the pieces have been smeared with super glue clear/black which was then sanded off

Knife Blanks

Black & White Ebony 318to328

Rare pieces in this hard to find wood.   These pieces are dried and do not have the usual defects most vendors sell them with.  But always be aware that some extra care needs to be used for this wood.  You can split or crack it if you overheat it while sanding, so please avoid that.  It isn't super sensitive but one good thing is that if you do have a small check forming you can use black superglue on the check and it actually adds to the look!   It is the only wood I can think of where you can get away with that! We did our best with pics, but unfortunately we could not do these pieces justice in photos . .

Lumber

Black & White Ebony 200-204

Rare dried small board sections in Black & White Ebony.  This wood has been hardly available for awhile now.  The reason is that Laos has not allowed shipments to leave the country for many years.  The wood is incredibly difficult to dry without defects, and in any case has many defects once it is dried.  We cut these pieces around the defects which are always extensive.   This is because the black lines have a harder density than the yellow/white heart wood and creates tension in the boards. We are selling at a price that is lower than competitors who have boards for sale with a number of defects.  If we sold defective boards these pieces could easily be 3-4 times as large as they are.   (boards with the defects are available, if interested let us know they cost less but will have to be filled with epoxy, etc).

Micro Boards

Black & White Ebony 340to346

Rare dried pieces in Black and White Ebony.   Most vendors sell wet, cracked, checked and rotted pieces at prices higher than this (up to double), these are far better than that and cheaper too!   We took years to slow dry them and with the thick ones especially it is quite a challenge as they crack like crazy when drying in most cases.   Once dry they are fairly stable with the one caveat that you should not overheat them when sanding as that can cause checking.   We cut the good pieces out of larger boards to produce these.   We do have some larger pieces with the defects in them if you are handy with glue/epoxy to make them whole again--email us if interested.

Black & White Ebony 205to210

Rare black and white ebony in high quality pieces without the rot, holes and cracks that they are usually sold with.  These are dried, and after drying the high quality pieces are removed from much larger boards.  The pieces of this quality are maybe 1/5 of the board on average after they are dried. Some pieces had small spalted areas we hardened with superglue.  They are solid pieces though. Difficult to get and further supplies may not be possible for an unknown period of time.
