Obsidian ebony
The obsidian story
Obsidian Ebony was created by listening to the voice of the customer. We heard that ebony was getting harder and harder to come by, not to mention the environmental impacts of purchasing exotic woods on the other side of the world, and so we decided to do something about it. After years of testing, we’ve finally found the solution to the sustainable alternative issue.
Obsidian Ebony is made from torrefied maple that’s been infused with resin. The dark colour is consistent throughout, and according to many luthiers, it also machines similarly to traditional ebony. This product is something we’re happy to share with instrument makers all over the world, and as many exotic woods face the danger of extinction, our hope is that we can provide a sustainable alternative that also delivers the quality that people have come to expect from exotic woods.
We’ve been shipping Obsidian all over the world and the feedback we’ve received has been nothing short of amazing. We provide blanks for guitars, bass, violins, violas, cellos, as well as bridge blanks, and headstock veneer. You can check out several videos of luthiers testing the product, and even read some articles which feature the story behind our Obsidian Ebony.
