Indian Ebony Spindle Blank (Reclaimed)
Indian Ebony (Diospyros ebenum)
Heartwood is a jet black, sometimes with grey or dark brown streaks. Pale yellow sapwood is clearly demarcated from heartwood. Ironically, the very best quality ebony looks like black plastic
Overall difficult to work on account of its density and strong blunting effect on cutting edges. Can be difficult to dry, with checks or other drying defects developing. Can be difficult to glue. Ebony turns superbly, and takes a very high natural polish.
Spindle blanks are ideal for any woodturning enthusiast. Our high-quality spindle blanks are selected by our timber experts. They offer an ideal starting point for creating unique and beautiful objects. Every blank has hot wax applied to the end grain and edges to prevent end splitting through the drying process. This ensures your finished object will be stable when brought into a centrally heated environment. Square edge pieces come in a range of sizes and are ideal for cutting anything from inlays to knife handles.
