Ebony Wood

Origin of ebony wood

In 1472, Portuguese colonists came to the Gulf of Gabon, because the topography of the area is somewhat similar to the coats worn by Portuguese sailors at that time, the Portuguese is "gabao", and Gabon is also named after it. The reputation of "Treasure House of Resources" and "Land of Green Gold", in the vast tropical forests of Gabon, is known as the "Noble in the wood", and the ebony wood tree grows here...

That is to say, ebony wood was discovered and used very early, but because the land transportation at that time was underdeveloped and mainly relied on water and air transportation, Gabon also faced the problem of backward infrastructure. Used to make high-end furniture and even used in private jets and luxury car interiors, ebony wood is less well known.
