Unwaxed and then waxed pen blanks listed as black and white ebonyĪll of the planks and turning stock in the section below were listed as either striped ebony or black and white ebony and in all cases as Diospyros embryopteris. Misc scales and turning stock, all using the name black and white ebony, and all are waxedīoth side of an unwaxed turning stick listed as black and white ebony Waxed turning stock, all from the same vendor, using the name black and white ebony I think the yellow background color is probably in reality more like a nice rich tan. Two sets of waxed turning stock, both from the same vendor, using the name black and white ebony. I think the true color there is likely more like a nice rich tan. I doubtful about the bright orange color behind the black stripes. Waxed planks from one vendor and turning stock from another, both using the name pale moon ebony Planks listed as black and white ebony, all from the same vendor and all with HUGE enlargements present. Pics submitted by Todd Levy (thanks Todd) using the name white ebony (but which Todd believes to be Diospyros embryopteris) Pic submitted by Todd Levy (thanks Todd) using the name pale moon ebonyīookmatch scales, pic also provided by Todd Levy (more thanks) On the other hand, the striping is quite believable for pale moon ebonyĪ waxed sample plank pic submitted by Bill Mudry (thanks Bill) who, as you can see, uses the name "black and white ebony". So very few of the pics below are natural wood colorĮnd grain listed as black and white ebony but I am suspicious of that ID since I have never otherwise seen Diospyros embryopteris with such dark on dark coloration. NOTE: this wood is almost always shown slathered in wax

NOTE: these pics were all taken in very bright incandescent lighting ("soft white" at 2700K)Ĭolors will vary under other lighting conditionsīoth sides of a long plank of pale moon ebony / Diospyros embryopteris - both levels of enlargements are present. When I started this site, I was not aware that pale moon ebony and black and white ebony were the same species, and when I combined the pages, I arbitrarily put both under pale moon, but it turns out that in the US, black and white is by far a more commonly used name. Diospyros pendula is also sometimes sold as black and white ebony. It apparently goes under the names of "pale moon ebony", "black and white ebony", and sometimes just "white ebony" (although there are other woods with that common name). The build specifications are listed below, please contact Brian’s Guitars to inquire about putting a deposit on this build.Pale moon ebony open main page for all woods open page 2 for articlesĬlick here for a discussion of the genus Diospyrosĭiospyros embryopteris of the family Ebenaceae, the ebony familyĪlthough this wood is sold by a handful of vendors in the USA, I have not found any information on its working properties. Completion date is scheduled for approximately Deember 2021. This wood set was virtually picked by the Brian’s Guitars staff from the PRS factory in December 2020.
