Makassar ebony: a rarity that has become scarce!

01.10.2022

With a bit of luck and unfortunately a lot of money we were able to buy a nice lot of old Makassar ebony. We were at the right place at the right time and despite the high price we did not hesitate. In all likelihood, it will hardly ever be possible to buy something like this on the market again, because Indonesia banned the export of all unprocessed wood years ago. For this reason, well-grained Makassar has been very difficult to obtain on the wood market for a long time, and often it is only very narrow boards that can be bought at high prices.
Large blocks with almost 20 - 30 cm diameter are an absolute exception, they have veneer quality and are simply beautiful. Coming soon to this webshop!
