Macassar ebony is one of the most desirable, classic, and exotic wood veneers available. Our selection is small because we only buy high-end grades. This type of ebony is getting hard to find with a reasonable price but we've done our best to make these veneer sheets as affordable as possible. Be sure to check out the Marble Ebony category for more of this beautiful species.
