Katalox
Katalox is an exceptionally dense Central American hardwood prized for its deep purplish-brown to nearly black color, fine texture, and ability to polish to a mirror-like finish. Often compared to ebony for its weight and hardness, Katalox is valued for fine woodworking projects that demand both exceptional durability and striking visual contrast. Naturally resistant to wear and decay, Select & Better grade boards offer rich, consistent color and a refined surface ready for precision work.
Common uses: fine furniture, cabinetry, flooring, knife scales, turning, musical instruments, inlays
Working properties: extremely hard, dense, and wear-resistant, naturally decay-resistant, excellent dimensional stability, finishes to a high polish, challenging to machine due to its hardness
