Ebony — questions buyers ask

Yes, our Grade A Pure Jet Black selection is hand-picked for total blackness across the usable face, specifically for orchestral string instruments and concert guitar fingerboards.
Due to its extraordinary density, ebony is prone to checking if exposed to dry airflow. We coat all cut ends with thick protective wax and line export crates with moisture-retention barriers.
We supply legally sourced Southeast Asian varieties (including Diospyros ebenum and Diospyros mollis) harvested under forestry authority harvest allocations.
