Macassar Ebony Lumber

Macassar Ebony, Diospyros Celebica, is a very rare and desired exotic Ebony wood from Asia. Diospyros in Latin originally meant "fruit of the gods" and is referenced in Ezekiel 27:15. A wood of great importance worldwide, Macassar Ebony has been used by many kings. It is also known as Golden Ebony for the black stripes overlaying golden tones. Since it is an extremely dense wood, it is best worked with sharp tools. Uses include: picture frames, humidors, jewelry boxes, veneer, musical instruments, inlay, boxes, tool handles, pens, bottle stoppers, and carving. We source Select & Better grade (SEL&BTR) for all our exotics. Our dimensional lumber is milled S3S, and the prices listed below are the per-board-foot prices. We stock a limited supply of Macassar Ebony at our headquarters in Spring, TX, so if you are picking up locally, you are welcome to get as little or as much as you need. If, however, you need your lumber shipped, we require a minimum purchase of 250BF. Freight rate
