I’d like to know how to get more of the edge grain Zebrawood. The boards I got on order #20727 were different and very nice to look at. See photos and let me know how to get more,,,,,, Please!

The wood is beautiful and better than I thought it would be. I will be making a caboose out of it when I get the chance, and time. I believe it is the best color for a caboose.

I have worked with many different woods. I have my favorites when it comes to grain and tone and Santos Rosewood has moved to the top of the list. Beautiful wood and easy to work with.

Though these are sold as bowl blanks, I'll be using them to make bases for small metal sculptures. It's likely I'll be making future purchases of 6x6x3 (or larger) for larger pieces. Good delivery time and I think good pricing. Five stars!

Have not used yet. I have been wanting to try a cutaway and an armrest on a new guitar. As a hobby maker I was reluctant to gamble with an expensive set. This 2nd quality set will allow me to experiment without risking a quality set and the cost.

The quality of the wood is outstanding. Delivery is very prompt. I have made a number of purchases of wood, including hard maple, walnut and a few others. Exotic Wood Zone is where I purchase my hardwood lumber.

I was really looking forward to this order. It’s the first time ordering. I was browsing when I came across your website. It seemed that your selection and price were competitive. I am very happy with the results. I received a few other pieces that I didn’t order. I wasn’t charged. Contact me to figure out what to do.

The wood (black walnut thin stock) is high quality with a very good grain and good color. This is for making grips for an antique Remington Beals pistol after completing a Burnside carbine restoration,

Had to cut away more of the bowl blank then I wanted to to make the coaster because hall don't sell thickness in 1 inch but it turned out alright despite a few cracks in the wood.

After sanding down the Ebony boards both sides are 100% black. It will be perfect to place in fiquired tiger maple boards for 2x2 inch chess boards I am making. Photo to follow.

Thanks for a good product. Nicely cut and no rot or knots. I have rough cut walnut and maple but your wood is ready to use for making chess boards. Saves me a lot of work. I'll be back. Thank you, J 🕸

I love this piece of cherry. When it came to my door, the package was sealed and packed very neatly. This is a 2x2 6’ foot of cherry and will be one of many handles I intend to carve for that purpose. I am extremely satisfied with it and intend order other pieces for other uses in the future. Thank you so much!

A beautifully figured wood that turns well. I turn fairly simple small bowls with the emphasis on displaying the beauty of the wood. Of the many bowls I have turned, this is one of the best,

I used this for the tail wedge. Not a rosette. I needed a wood with some contrast to the sides, but not too much. The canarywood was perfect. This is the first I've bought here but will not be the last.

I’ve bought several of these and love working this wood. I would very much like to know what county the root came from. I’ve asked and not received an answer, just that you got the roots from a veneer company. Being able to pinpoint the provenance of the wood would add considerable cache to the product. jfb

The price was appreciated, made for a good value - in all, there were a couple of these boards that were not up to spec that you shipped in that batch. They were about half as thick…And there are a couple didn’t meet stated length. Not a complaint per se, I’m thankful to have the material… guessing you sent what was available…?

I went by the warehouse today and bought a gorgeous piece of koa for a lapsteel build. It's the second time I've been to the warehouse, as I'm typically in St. Louis a couple of times per month. It's totally worth the effort-the warehouse is huge, and packed with all kinds of both domestic and tropical/exotic woods, and the folks I delat with were super helpful.

I recently bought several back and side sets (plus the Engleman spruce top). The b&s sets all look wonderful (purpleheart, ambrosia maple, & spalted tamarind). They will sit in my garage for a couple of months so I haven’t used any of them and can only comment on looks.

I plan to make a replacement pot handle with this Katalox / Mexican Royal Ebony Turning Wood Blank 2" x 2" x 8". If I do it right, it will be sturdy, heat resistant, and keep a 'mellow' finish. I think this was a very good choice.

Great price, beautiful figuring, no cupping/checks or major flaws. I'm learning to build so EWZ's prices make it less daunting to take on, and they are in a similar climate to where I am so the peices don't seem to be affected too much by climate in shipping.

Alex B.Verified
I ordered ebony with the expectation I would be getting at least some usable material for the accent pieces I need to make. This photo is of three orders of three pieces each 2" X 3/8" X 12" ebony for fingerboards. My assumption is if this is supposed to be good enough for fingerboards, it will be fairly high quality. I haven't purchased Ebony in a long time, but this is not the quality I expected. of the 9 boards, one will be usable. I will look elsewhere for ebony.

Not having a machine jointer or planer is a choice by many luthiers and being able to get a perfectly planed and jointed neck blank from Exotic has been perfect. There are no teeth marks whatsoever and ready to be worked with unlike some other suppliers who claim the wood is ready to build with. If you’re debating buying from Exotic, debate no more! I will continue to purchase all my luthier needs from here. Thanks!
