Reviews for Black Limba 4/4 Lumber

i ordered black limba to go with some awesome book matched aromatic cedar i had milled and used it as a accent to build a beautiful coffee table for my self i have to say i,ve been wood working 20 yrs and by far African Back limba has now become one of my favorite exotic lumber to work with i look forward to buying more in the future

Bought this lumber for a couple of Christmas projects. What I received is perfect. No knots or blemishes. It is straight as an arrow and beautiful. Thank you

This is my first time working with Black Limba lumber. Incredible color that will add to any project!!

The selected black limba lumber was perfect for my project. The staff did an outstanding job picking it out.

Two very nice pieces. Just what I was looking for for upcoming intarsia projects

beautiful product, in process of resawing to replace plastic ceiling fan blades, black limba simple, unobtrusive and elegant look, very pleased.

I knew nothing about Limba Black, mine came more green than black - it is still nice in its own way and will have fun with it - it is hard buying exotic wood for the first time by a picture of one sample on a monitor. I am not sure if i would recommend Limba Black yet.

Ordered Tuesday evening, arrived at my door in Las Vegas Friday afternoon! Thought that was pretty quick and I was very happy, then I opened the box... Wow! What gorgeous wood! All boards were perfect! Black Limba needs to have the ribbons of Black running through it and all I can say is every board has a "white" area and a striped with black! They are beautiful!

Gorgeous piece of black limba, nice and straight. Should yeild 4 very attractive fretboards for future guitar projects I'll be working on.

I ordered black limba. I got black limba, but only about a 2 inch strip right along one of the edges. This section of wood could almost have been full white limba if the black section had been trimmed off. Not quite what I was expecting, I was expecting more black on it, especially because of the picture. I am using it for a guitar back, and after deciding I didn't want a skunk stripe down the middle, I now have a full white, black limba back. Don't care much about the lack of black/figure, i am more interested in tonal quality, but would have been more striking with black/figure on it. Came as one full board when delivered. I would still recommend woodworkers as a supply entity because they were very quick with shipping, and the packaging was great. I would also still recommend the black limba(korina) because it is easy to work with and very dense.

This wood has great color and pattern, and will look marvelous on any project. The reason I gave it only 3 stars was that the figured portion is only about 60% of the board running lengthwise, unlike the website photo The remainder was nearly white. This fact makes it a very expensive choice.

I got some sweet pieces from ww source for 6 different guitars. They picked out some good stuff. I use only lacquer finish on guitar bodies and the black streaks in limba look really good that way.
