Makassar 'Ebony' is one of the hardest, heaviest and costliest types of wood in the world. The unique qualities of this special wood make Markassar a perfect material for the production of Tippers. These high-quality tippers are supplied with an elastic, waxed surface.
Please note: Makassar is not Ebony. Real Ebony does not have the nice lighter strips which can be seen on the Makassar. However it is very common to say 'Ebony' for Makassar, hence Makassar 'Ebony'. It's just good to know that these are two different woods !
