Ebony – Indian

Multiple blanks shown to demonstrate variance.

Indian Ebony (Diospyros ebenum) is a true ebony species that has long been used as a substitute for Gabon Ebony, thanks to its similar jet-black appearance. Often showcasing subtle brown or muted orange streaking (due to mineral content), and occasional pale sapwood, it can be nearly indistinguishable from its African cousin at first glance. That said, Indian Ebony is also very rare, with highly limited availability on the U.S. market.Its grain is typically straight or slightly irregular, with a fine texture and high natural oil content—resulting in excellent polishability and a deep, rich luster. Though not quite as dense as Gabon Ebony (with a Janka hardness roughly 20% lower), it’s still impressively hard and durable. Turners love it for its smooth working properties, and it’s frequently used for high-end fretboards on acoustic guitars—especially by players who want the look of ebony with a slightly softer touch.While traditionally abundant in South Asia, Indian Ebony’s export has been increasingly restricted in recent years, making U.S. supplies scarce and inconsistent. Still, it remains a prized exotic for fine woodworking, turning, and lutherie—offering a similar aesthetic to Gabon Ebony at a somewhat more accessible price point.
