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! Some checks and warpage should be expected in most pieces unless stabilized.

Craft Blanks

Black & White Ebony 1 - 11

Dried pieces are rarely for sale in Black and White ebony. We took the years necessary to slow dry it to avoid defects or cut them out as necessary. It is one of the most difficult exotic woods to dry without defects, warpage and cell collapse. Once dry it is fairly stable though. Ready to use.

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

Lumber

Black & White Ebony 26 - 31

Dried Black and White Ebony micro lumber. This wood type is hard to get now due to import restrictions in the main country it comes from: Laos. Usually sold wet, but we decided this wood needed to be dried before sale because in some situations it is near impossible to dry without problems. We deal with the problems on our end and send good wood that you can use right out of the box.

Black & White Ebony 20 - 25

Dried micro lumber in this rare true type of Ebony. These were dried for years under careful conditions and are ready to use. Normally this wood is sold wet, making it very difficult for the home woodworker, since this type of wood is one of the most difficult of all exotics to dry without getting large amounts of cracks and warpage. Once dry it is fairly stable though.
