African Blackwood Instrument Billet

Dalbergia melanoxylon

The heartwood is purplish to brownish-black with dark gray streaks giving an overall impression of being black. Lustrous with an attractive inner chatoyance. Very hard, heavy, close-grained, and virtually free from pores. Its stability and lovely tonal qualities make it an excellent instrument wood.

This has a little bit of heart defect on one edge but this shouldn't interfere with cutting back sets.

Due to CITES regulations, we can only ship this species to customers in the United States.
