GABOON EBONY
LATIN: DIOSPYROS CRASSIFLORA
ORIGIN: WEST AFRICA
Gaboon Ebony is an exotic wood native to Western Africa. It is an extremely hard, dense, and heavy wood, with a very fine texture. The sapwood is pink to pale red-brown in color, while the heartwood is a uniform jet-black or black-brown streaked. Gaboon Ebony is somewhat difficult to work with hand and machine tools, but is excellent for wood turning and carving, as well as inlays, tool and knife handles, door knobs, piano and organ keys, and instrument wood. Ebony is a dense black wood, most commonly yielded by several different species in the genus Diospyros. Ebony is dense enough to sink in water. It is finely-textured and has a very smooth finish when polished, online making it valuable as an ornamental wood.
PADAUK
LATIN: PTEROCARPUS ORIGIN: AFRICAN AND ASIA
Padauks are valued for their toughness, stability in use, and decorativeness, most having a reddish wood. Most Pterocarpus woods contain either water- or alcohol-soluble substances and can be used as dyes.
The Padauk found most often is African Padauk from Pterocarpus soyauxii which, when freshly cut, is a very bright red/orange but when exposed to sunlight fades over time to a warm brown. Its color makes it a favorite among woodworkers. Burmese Padauk is Pterocarpus macrocarpus while Andaman Padauk is Pterocarpus dalbergioides. Padauks can be confused with rosewoods to which they are somewhat related, but as a general rule Padauks are coarser and less decorative in figure. Like rosewood, Padauk is sometimes used to make xylophone and marimba keys, and guitars. Some Padauks are used as herbal medicines, for example to treat skin parasites and fungal infections.
