Uses of Ebony Wood

One of the most expensive types of lumber is African ebony, which is often two to three times as expensive as the majority of Rosewood species.

It is especially used to make little, beautiful items like pool cues, piano keys, carvings, musical instrument components, and other tiny, speciality goods.
