Woodcraft has brought together the most exceptional stock of domestic and exotic hardwood knife scale blanks–1" thick solid stock or matching 3/8" pieces. Each piece was selected for its striking figure and milled to sizes that make the knife making process easy and efficient with minimal waste.Black and White Ebony (Diospyros embryopteris), a rare find, is an exotic wood with color that will vary, usually uniformly black with light-colored bands, pale to medium brown zones, or with marked contrast between almost white and black wood. The wood has a fine texture with mostly straight grain, takes a high finish, and turns well. Ebony is commonly used for small ornamental purposes, such as piano keys, musical instrument parts, pool cues, carvings, and other small specialty items. The wood is exceptionally dense and strong.

Buyer Beware
While technically the item I received may meet their description, there is a definite feeling that Ive been had. I am extremely dissatisfied with my puchase. I should start by saying that I build and design custom furniture for a living, so i have a realistic expextation as far as knowing that every piece of wood is different (I wasn't expecting the piece on the website). However for a piece of wood that cost me nearly $30 in total, I don't think I am out of line expecting something that looks like it actually passed some sort of selection process rather than being pulled from the scrap bin. The piece is offered as a highly figured piece of ebony is entirely black with a 1/8" thick white stripe down the outside corner (the part you are certain to remove just by cleaning up the saw kerf). I'd wager to say that you might find a more interesting piece of wood at your local big orange home improvement store. I already spent around $8 on the initial ordering process, so I can't see spending any more money on this, dealing with the returns process. Lesson learned.

Huge Disapointment
Huge dissapointment. Looks nothing like the block pictured. Almost no color contrast at all. Its all dark brown with one thin yellow strip that is only on one side. Waste of money.
