Madagascar ebony

Madagascar ebony is a dense, dark hardwood native to Madagascar, known for its striking black color and fine grain. It is highly valued for its durability and aesthetic appeal, making it popular for high-quality furniture, musical instruments, and decorative items. The wood’s richness is due to its high carbon content, giving it a deep black appearance. Because of overharvesting and habitat loss, Madagascar ebony is now considered endangered and is protected under international regulations. Sustainable sourcing is essential to preserve this unique and historically significant timber.
