Ebony Turning Blanks

Native to Central and West Africa, Ebony (Diospyros crassiflora) is one of the most prized exotics for woodworkers and turners. The heartwood is black with very little variation. It has a very fine and even texture and turns and polishes to a high gloss. These blanks have been sealed in wax to prevent cracks. 

Blanks are considered rough lumber and may contain surface checks and tear-out. These are not defects. All sizes are nominal, +/- 1/8”. 

Wood is a natural product—color, figure, and grain pattern can vary wildy—no two pieces will be the same.

All of our doweled stock is done in-house.  It is prepped for our lathe operation and may not be perfectly round.  It may have some flats and be rough from the doweling process.  This is not considered a defect.

**Please note that due to current CITES regulations we are unable to ship African Blackwood, Cocobolo and other Rosewoods or dalbergia outside of the USA. Please do not order these options if your final shipping destination is not in the USA. Thank you for your understanding.
