Extremely fine textured and moderately soft. Blackheart does have good tone qualities and bends easily, so it's becoming more popular with musical instrument makers. The wood is difficult to match in color from board to board, which makes the color variety a standard characteristic of this wood.
Color Range
Pale tan to white with irregular and interesting dark brown to nearly black markings, streaks and stripes. The color variation is very sporadic.
