Royal Ebony

Heartwood is a pale straw color, with darker black streaks throughout; some pieces may be predominantly black rather than white. Sapwood is a paler white color, not always clearly defined.

Generally straight grain with a fine, uniform texture and good natural luster.

Generally works and turns well, though pieces can be difficult to dry without checking.

Turned objects, inlay, and other small wood projects.

This is another ultra-rare species. Not commonly available, Black and White Ebony is very expensive, on par with solid-black species of ebony.
