Ebony is freely tradable on the market without any trade restrictions. Due to the extremely low trade volumes compared to industrially used wood species such as meranti, teak, ipé, bongossi, bangkirai, cumaru, there are no certificates for ebony, because traded quantities are well below 0.1% (for white ebony even below 0.0002%) of the volume of annual imports of individual other wood species. There is a CITES-listed protection status for ebony from Madagascar;(Diospyros perrieri, D. baronii), which grows endemic there, this species may no longer be exported. Discussion of the overexploitation of ebony in Madagascar by the musical instrument industry has often led to generalization of this trade ban among laypeople, with no distinction made between the rather different species from Madagascar and West Africa. Ebony from West Africa is subject to absolutely no trade restrictions and does not need to be certified!
Please note that we sell naturally grown ebony from Africa, which may not always be jet black. A batch of ebony scantlings from a single tree may contain black pieces, pieces with gray or brownish areas, just as ebony grows naturally. A consolation for all users who accept wood as a natural material: Ebony ages quite quickly, and natural processes of aging, discoloration, varnishes, waxes, oils, and fats cause the color to darken rapidly. With this link we show the history of a decades-old block of ebony that was 'perfectly black' on the outside.
So if you are looking for perfect blackness, you should consider dyeing, staining, or varnishing wood. You won't find 'perfectly black' ebony anywhere but in fairytales!
