Black and White Ebony (Diospyros embryopteris)  also known as Pale Moon Ebony, is an exotic wood with color that is reported to vary with species, usually uniformly black with light-colored bands, pale to medium brown zones, or with marked contrast between almost white and black wood. The black heartwood is reported to be more brittle than the lighter colored sapwood. 
This wood is very hard to work with and almost impossible to dry. It very prone to checking (cracking) and warping. That being said it is one of the most beautiful wood there is. The flowing dark and light color looks like it was poured together in liquid form.
This wood is found in Southeast Asia, Thailand.

I have never used this type of hook before, so I thought I would give it a try. Pure heaven! I have used several of the wooden streamline Furl hooks, but they tend to snag the yarn and are just a bit too light for my taste. Bryan’s artistry is amazing, but he has also given great attention to the fact that this is a tool to be used for hours at a time. The wood is so very beautiful and so smooth! Absolutely no snagging happening here! This is my new “go-to” hook - until the next order from Nelsonwood arrives! Lol! If you are on the fence about ordering, just do it. You will not regret your purchase IMO.

There is something so perfect in wood; it possesses a living beauty of color, grain, and texture. Even the anomalies and scars caused by stresses and accidents throughout the life of the tree give it interest and character. When that intrinsic beauty is utilized by a knowledgeable toolmaker and a talented artisan, the results are these superbly handsome tools. They work for me on all levels; amazing how one person's passion can fire that of another. This black & white ebony hook is my third Nelsonwood hook, and it will definitely not be my last.

WOW, WOW, WOW! Beauty, artistry and function all rolled up in this wonderful hook. I am a VERY detailed person. Bryan was patient and exact in answering my questions and turning a hook that met every requirement I requested. Beauty is one thing, but a crochet hook is meant to be used, and this hook does not fail in function either. It is comfortable, ergonomic and so smooth, gliding through yarn effortlessly. This was my first Nelsonwood hook but it won't be my last. It beats other ergonomic hooks I've tried (and the styles and brands are many), both mass produced and small batch boutique brands hands down! Highly recommended, you will not be disappointed!

The black and white ebony hook I order is just gorgeous. The hooks that Bryan create are not only functional but beautiful. This was my 5th hook I ordered from Bryan and like the others it does not disappoint. The hook is very comfortable and I can crochet for hours now. You will not go wrong if you order from Bryan.

Gorgeous hook, one of a kind. I just can't say enough about these hooks. Love them so much. I'm just so impressed with the fact that I can crochet with them for hours without my fingers, wrists, or hands hurting. Every hook I've tried bothers my wrists, hands, or fingers at some point, but these hooks don't; a gift to those with arthritis and fibromyalgia. They slide so easily through the yarn that I can crochet without a glitch and fast if I'd like or slow and casual depending on how I feel. They do not snag or catch the yarn, very smooth transition. I usually struggle with the head of wooden hooks, but not these. The head is not too big and not too small and blends into the neck of the hook, very much like my old vintage Susan Bates hooks; exactly what I have been looking for. Thank you so much, I'm planning on getting more.
