African Blackwood is alled Mpingo by tribal Africans. It is a member of the Rosewood family (Dalbergia melanoxylon). The African Blackwood  has long been recognized as the world's best tone wood, surpassing the revered "Brazilian Rosewood." African Blackwood is black with violet streaks (when seen up close). At a distance it appears as black as night. This hardwood finishes to an incredibly fine, satiny smooth polish. It is difficult to work and bend, but is superior in turning applications where it is thought to be one of the best woods available for woodturning stock. It is very stable in use. African blackwood is used primarily for the manufacture of woodwind instruments, but is also used for stringed instruments such as guitars, violins, banjos etc. Also extremely useful for other turnery work, such as brush backs, knife handles, walking sticks, inlay work, chessmen, carvings and many other small specialty items etc.
