Texas Ebony Block TE771 2.1" x 2.1" x 6.9" 1.2 lbs. This is an eye-catching spindle of Texas Ebony. It is about 70% the dark chocolate-brown of Texas Ebony heartwood and 30% the lighter honey-blonde of Texas Ebony sapwood. The grain is slightly inclined to the long axis of the spindle. This block includes a bit of pith and has pith-related cracks. See close-up photos for detail. We recommend stabilizing these with CA glue if turning. The block is discounted because of the cracks. This piece has been air-dried to 10-12% moisture content. |
