Swiss Pear and Asian Striped Ebony Cabinets by Nilson Winter Construction

Here is a great example of why we love Swiss Pear so much-

Just look at the amazing color and grain on this wood!

Swiss Pear is definitely one of those species that you have to try yourself to truly appreciate how nice it really is.

Jeff Nilson of Nilson Winter Construction complemented the bookmatched Swiss pear raised panels with grain matched the rails and stiles out of Asian Striped Ebony and used black Gaboon Ebony for the handles.

Although we love the way the ebony turned out, we think the Swiss pear panels are by far the highlight of the piece.

We'll let the following pictures do the rest of the talking

Amazing work Jeff!

Asian Striped Ebony Door and Medicine Cabinets

Here are a few pictures sent to us by Tassajara Designs-

Asian Striped Ebony Door and matching medicine cabinets.

As many of you know, Macassar Ebony has been in very short supply and high demand for quite some time now.

As a result, Asian Striped Ebony has quickly become a viable replacement for its figure, long lengths (in relation to most ebonies) and price.

At $35/BF, your looking about half the going rate of all other ebonies.

Asian Striped Ebony looks amazing once finished.

It matches well with a variety of other species and as stated before, is available in great dimensions.

Think Asian Striped Ebony will work for you?

A couple Jewelry Boxes by customer Andrew Hughes

Jewelry box made out of some of our asian striped ebony
This one is a James Krenov inspired jewelry box. Made out of mahogany with pearwood top and bottom. Very Nice.

Piece by our customer John Fry

John Fry is furniture builder in North Los Angeles. He built this commissioned piece with wood that he purchased from us. It is an Asian Striped Ebony and Wenge "drum" table that was made with all bent lamination construction. He resawed the striped Asian ebony into 1/16" veneers and vac press laminated them on a form. Always great to see our woods once the projects are finished
