Gaboon Ebony – Premium Jet-Black Exotic Hardwood for Fine Turning & Luxury Craftwork
Gaboon Ebony (Diospyros crassiflora) is one of the most iconic and sought-after exotic hardwoods in the world. Known for its deep, jet-black color, ultra-fine texture, and exceptional density, this prized African hardwood is the standard of excellence for premium turning and luxury craftsmanship. Its uniform black appearance—often with subtle dark brown streaks—gives every piece a bold, elegant, high-end look.
Gaboon Ebony is extremely hard, smooth, and naturally heavy, allowing it to take a mirror-level polish unmatched by nearly any other wood. Its fine grain structure supports crisp detail, flawless edges, and precise shaping, making it a top choice for artisans who demand perfection in every project.
