Gaboon Ebony Knob #39

46mm dia. x 77mm
Gaboon ebony is said to be the blackest wood known. Although there are several kinds of ebony, this is what everyone thinks of when ebony is mentioned. It is a highly prized and rare wood. Ebony is a very hard and dense wood, giving a smooth satin feel.

$195.00

This knob was sanded with 1,500 grit silicon carbide paper and buffed to a high polish. Numerous coats of hand-rubbed Polyurethane were applied to seal the wood and protect it. The hand-rubbed method allows the finish to penetrate into the grain without leaving a plastic-looking coating over the surface.

Care: Typically, no special care is needed. Cleaning can usually be accomplished by rubbing with a soft cloth. If more aggressive methods are required, a damp cloth, or furniture cleaner can be used.

Order an emergency-brake handle at the same time you order a knob and receive a $20 rebate.
