Ebony or Horn? But like all things in life there are many differences in each. I will start with Ebony, the vast majority of so called Ebony is in fact African "Black wood" that does have a propensity to move even when well seasoned also not as dense as true Ebony. Sadly we Brits are responsible for removing the vast majority of Ebony trees all to make black wood objects to mourn the death of Queen Victoria's husband Albert. If I want Ebony I re purpose Victorian era Ebony. Horn this is a sort of mine field to choose from though there is one horn that is black stable and stays where you put it, Water Buffalo horn can be found jet black streaked with white and sometimes just white.
