Characteristics of wood
Ebony— Botanical name: Diospyros crassiflora.
black (or black with stripes) wood of some tropical trees of the persimmon genus (Diospyros), growing in tropical rainforests of Western, Central and Eastern Africa, South and Southeast Asia, on the islands of the Indian Ocean, in the monsoon forests of India and the island of Ceylon. Heartwood, without distinguishable annual rings, is very hard and heavy and belongs to the most valuable tree species. The yellow-gray sapwood, which is removed from the tree immediately after felling, can occupy up to 70% of the trunk and never goes on sale, as it is considered ugly. The density of ebony is up to 1300 kg / m³ at a humidity of 15%. This wood sinks in water.
