Cello Fingerboard Blanks | Thermally Modified | Torrified Maple Infused with Resin | Obsidian Ebony – Real Wood Ebony Substitute

Obsidian Ebony cello fingerboard blanks. Approximately 23×2.75×1 inches.

Driven by an eco-conscious mission, we addressed the industry’s need for an ebony substitute, vital in music as guitar fingerboards and potential premium instrument materials. This led to Obsidian Ebony, crafted via thermal modification and monomer infusion.

With ebony on the endangered species list, we thought the time was right to create a real wood alternative using roasted maple and a few other things.

ThermalWood Canada prides itself on being a leader in the thermal modification manufacturing of wood products. Our in-house thermal modification process has been studied for many years, yet is simple at the base. Using our specially designed kiln, the wood is heated at a precise temperature, essentially cooking the lumber.

This process changes the characteristics of the wood. Notable advantages include:

DURABILITY AND STABILITY

-> Improved dimensional stability

DECAY AND INSECT RESISTANT

-> The high heat chemically transforms sugars in the wood, making the wood unattractive to harmful insects, and acts as a barrier against decay caused by humidity and other water damage. A great choice for outdoor or indoor uses where high humidity is present.

EXQUISITE APPEARANCE

->Uniform darker coloration throughout the thickness of the lumber.

GREEN PROCESS

->Using only heat and steam – with no added chemicals during the process – we offer the consumer a green alternative solution in a diversified market.
