Details: Gaboon Ebony is an exotic African hardwood renowned for its stunning jet-black color, fine texture and durability. Its scientific name is Diospyros crassiflora, belonging to the Diospyros genus of flowering plants in the Ebenaceae family. This rare species of timber is highly valued for its striking appearance and its wide range of uses. It is primarily used for cabinetry, furniture, chess pieces and guitars due to its extraordinarily dense wood grain and extraordinary strength-to-weight ratio.
The heartwood of Gaboon Ebony varies from deep black with dark brown veining to pitch black with no visible lines or streaks. This makes it a popular choice among woodworkers who want to create breathtakingly beautiful finished pieces that show off this remarkable wood grain pattern. Despite its exclusive black hue, Gaboon Ebony has been reported to have available in shades of green, grey and tan when freshly cut so care must be taken during preparation.
Although it has low bending strength compared with other hardwoods, Gaboon Ebony is known for being exceptionally durable and resistant to shock and wear. This makes it great for use in structures like stairs and flooring boards as well as musical instruments that require heavy usage such as drumsticks and electric guitar fingerboards.
Aside from these practical uses, Gaboon Ebony has also been highly sought after by artisans over the centuries because of its unique aesthetic appeal whether raw or polished; this African hardwood is sure to add a touch of sophistication to any space or project!
