Dalbergia melanoxylon (African blackwood, grenadilla, or mpingo), African blackwood is a small tree, reaching 4–15 m tall. The dense, lustrous wood ranges in colour from reddish to pure black. It is generally cut into small billets or logs with its sharply demarcated bright yellow-white sapwood left on to assist in the slow drying so as to prevent cracks developing. Good quality “A” grade African blackwood commands high prices on the commercial timber market. African blackwood is often cited as one of the most expensive woods in the world, along with Sandalwood,Pink Ivory Wood and Ebony.
