You can resaw or shape this uniquely shaped piece to suit your needs. This wood can be turned, used for bowls, pen blanks, handles, gun stocks, musical instruments, and many other uses. Our Item 382B is 22 lbs of Ebony. The maximum length of this piece is 32.

The maximum width of this piece is 6. The maximum thickness of this piece is 5. This oddly shaped smaller piece has some radial end checks and some kerfs/fissures as shown in the photos. There are a small number of pin holes (but whatever activity there was is long gone; this was fumigated over 15 years ago and has been in dry storage since then).

There are not many of the holes and they should add some character if they go deep. I do not see any face checks and the wood appears solid black. The striking thing about this piece is its odd shape; somewhat squarish at one end that quickly tapers into a long rectangle at the other. I believe it might yield a blank 27" x 3" x 1.5" plus some decent offcuts like a 10" x 3.5" x 3" one.

Note that all yield predictions are estimates only, based on what I can see from the exterior and my experience. This is also true of the color; once you cut into a piece, you may find a different color or amount of true black than what I can see at the surface. Why is the wood in this shape? When this is harvested, the sawyer uses a chainsaw like a carving knife, cutting away the sapwood and leaving these irregular shapes.

We have imported them whole, eliminating the waste common to other vendors. Trees From Eden is a supplier of exotic African hardwoods that takes a different approach to the business.

At the stump in Africa, these woods cost about the same as common American species, such as Oak. The high cost of exotics is due to the series of 10-15 middlemen who move the product from the forest in Africa to the retailer in the US. Gabon ebony wood is the most pure black of the lot, but can have occasional chocolate brown seams, especially in the middle of larger chunks. You can pay significantly more for wood that is guaranteed to be pure black throughout. The sap wood is a light gray offering extreme contrasts in color that can add dramatic flare. Ebony weights approximately 65+ lbs per cubic foot. Please contact me with any questions.
