Gaboon Ebony Shave Brush
Gaboon Ebony is usually jet-black, with little to no variation or visible grain. Occasionally dark brown or grayish-brown streaks may be present. Gaboon Ebony is among the most expensive of all available lumbers: usually about two to three times more expensive than most species of Rosewood. The species is exceptionally dense, strong, and stiff making it an ideal wood for a shave brush.
