Brown Ebony - Caesalpina paraguariensis - is a very dense, dark brown wood with a very pleasant grain configuration. It does not change color over time, works well and be very stable and provides an excellent polish.
Like it's cousin, African Black Ebony, the Brown Ebony makes great fingerboards, inlays, and accents. Beautiful in its own right, it pairs up well with other woods. Not overly oily, it glues up well, cuts easily. It is necessary to drill a pilot hole for screws. Although it polishes up to a lovely sheen, any finish will hold to it very well, either laquer or polyurethane.
This wood grows in Argentine, South America.
