Diospyros celebica (commonly known as black ebony[2] or Makassar ebony) is a species of flowering tree in the family Ebenaceae that is endemic to the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia. The common name Makassar ebony originates from the main seaport on the island, Makassar.
Description
The tree grows up to 20 m (66 ft) high under favourable circumstances, although such trees are rarely seen nowadays.
The heartwood of D. celebica shows a wide striped pattern of dark brown and the typical black of ebony wood. As macassar ebony, it has been traded since the colonial period and is regarded as a valuable wood for a variety of woodworking.
Distribution
D. celebica is endemic to Sulawesi.[1] It has been extensively logged for its wood since colonial times and its current conservation status is considered "vulnerable".[1]
Uses
The wood of D. celebica is the source of the variegated ebony variety macassar ebony. The wood is often defective, showing cracks, and in particular heart shakes and splits. It is not easy to dry and is best given ample time for this. Converting logs into boards as soon as possible is recommended.
旋盤加工、高級家具、指物などの用途で非常に貴重な木材とされています。ギターなどの楽器の指板にも用いられます。かつて日本は、この木材の主な輸入国であり、伝統的な日本家屋の床柱（とこばしら）[ 3 ]に多く使用されています。
