Wood Atlas - Xylarium
Ebony
lat. Diospyros crassiflora
African ebony (Diospyros crassiflora) has been admired for centuries because of its natural black color and its other properties. Depth black ebony is extremely rare to find (usually only about 10% of the stock). In most cases, the wood is crisscrossed with lighter lines.
The wood is extremely hard and dense and is therefore highly sought after for fine crafts of any kind.
Find the right wood by appearance!
Our wood atlas makes it significantly easier to find the right wood for your projects.
But, as you know, wood is a natural product and what us shown here is only
a sample and the actual piece may vary in color and pattern.
Tip: Use the left and right arrows to navigate; to select the wood currently show, click on the link below the image. The wood atlas is by no means exhaustive and is constantly being expanded. But, on the whole, almost all the woods we have in stock are shown.
