Stashed in a special stash and dried for 10 years, this highly prized African Blackwood is ready for your projects now! This extraordinary, premium grade material is very dark in color and high in quality. Pieces may have a small check or rough edge, but most are clean. Blanks are completely wax sealed. When first cut, African Blackwood looks grey with color streaks but when finish is applied, it looks black. African Blackwood is one of the most exceptional tone woods in the world.
