for All Macassar Ebony
Macassar ebony logs await resawing at our warehouse, above. Right, close-up of log ends showing the marbling typical of good Macassar ebony.
These two photos at right of backs are thumbnails. Click on them to get an idea of the variety found in Macassar ebony.
There's considerable variation in the appearance of Macassar ebony, from the predominately lighter background material as in the Breedlove guitar above, to the inverse effect of a dark background with light striping as in the image at left.
However, there are ebonies sold as Macassar ebony which are not true Macassar ebony. One, which is on the market and is sold as striped ebony is from Papua-New Guinea and is known as Morola. Although attractive, it does
not have the stability nor the density of Macassar (.65 to .75 vs. Macassar's .95 to 1.2). This wood is also not as easy to bend, nor does it glue as well as Macassar.
