All I can tell you is it is called striped ebony. I have a fairly large piece of it and some parts are more "striped" than others. Ebony is often died to give a pure black.

Thanks for the kind comments.

Thanks I will have to look around for it as I like that look quite a bit over the solid black ebony I have currently.

That does look good. The scales look just right for it.
