Customer video review of Gaboon Ebony Wood Bowl Blank
Dustin T.Verified
Purchased 2 Ebony bowl blanks. They shipped fast, seem to be cured well, and are both slightly oversized. Already turned one into a bowl and had no issues with checks, warping, rot, or anything else. Perfect wood.

I like this wood alot and they turn out crazy nice i have only had one problem with the wood i got ten pieces of this and I had two that i had cut for pens and they both came apart on me while I was cutting them on the machine it strange that never really happens and they were cut and drilled right so I guess maybe soft in the middle or something but will keep on with the rest and hopefully that was just a thing with just those two but like I said the wood looks insane and I really like it..ty a...

Customer photo review of Padauk Guitar Body Blanks - 21" x 15" x 2"
James B.Verified
First off, the customer service was outstanding. The staff worked around my travel schedule to accommodate delivery right when I could accept the package. Very cool of them to do. The two-piece blank itself is great - the seam is barely visible (the line in the picture is a pencil mark delineating the centerline for the bass) and tear out from planing is minimal. The wood quality is excellent, very clean, and free from defects.

Marvin L.Verified
While not perfectly black, these ebony blanks were excellent. I have not been able to get pure black ebony for quite some time now from any source. The surface quality was excellent, although I had to do some sanding to get them to my final desired thickness. The edges were not far from true, so did not take much effort to get a true edge for use with my fret template.

Growler P.Verified
This is the first time working with exotic wood and first time buying it. I love how quickly both boards arrive and how easy it was to work with the online app. I like the wood so much I’m going to buy more to make a table for the back of my boat.

Jadon C.Verified
Used the walnut from exotic wood zone to do the trim on my router table build. I’ve used EWZ several times in the past and the pieces are always in great shape and as described not to mention the prices at EWZ are better then most other places I’ve shopped at for hard woods or exotics

Customer video review of Leopardwood Bowl Blanks
Daniel F.Verified
First time ordering but definitely not the last. Very pleased with the bowl blanks which I use to make hand crafted wooden putters. The fact they come kiln dried to roughly 7% is a huge plus and time saver. Can’t wait to put in my next order

Bennie H.Verified
All products I have received from Exotic Wood Zone have been excellent. This lot of olive wood blanks were beautiful. Equally important was the price. Unmatched by over ten suppliers. My pen blank purchases will be from here. And to go even further they labeled my groups of blanks. Thank you!

Customer photo review of Black and White Ebony Pen Blank
Willard C.Verified
The Black and White Ebony was so cool. I had never seen white Ebony before. The black streaks added a wonderful design touch to the over all pen. You can see other pens in the photo like the Ebony blanks which also came from Exotic Wood Zone. I love using blanks from this store and the order comes quick with the species identified which helps me remember what I used so I can share with my clients what type of wood they are. Thank you Exotic Wood Zone.

Customer photo review of Bois De Rose Knife Scale Blank- 5 x 1-1/2 x 1 Inch- Handle Material for Knives, Tools, and Grips
John B.Verified
I love this wood. I didn't know it in advance but it's very oily and literally shines itself as a grind it. Cost is very low and the quality is very good the color is a deep orange, red and literally seems to polish itself as I work it with an angle grinder. Ive used it to build the handle for a Siberian black jade skinning knife.

Blanks were of a good quality. Turning ebony is very satisfying. Images were for a commissioned job. A dad wanted a desk set for his two college kids for a Christmas gift.

As always the wood is beautiful and low moisture. The olive wood has a good coating of wax, but not bad to scrape off before using. Worth the effort for the gorgeous grain.

Customer photo review of Cherry Thin Stock Lumber Board Wood Blank
Kent S.Verified
I used the cherry to match existing wood as I repaired a piece of furniture. Not completely done yet, but the wood is perfect and, best of all, saved time and effort in getting the exact thickness I needed up front.

Daniel K.Verified
I purchased rosewood fret board material and I am very pleased with the service and the material. I loved the figure in the batch of blanks. It wasn’t a flitch, but enough range to select an excellent compliment to the other woods used for this build. I’ll be back soon. Singing Trees Lutherie.

This wood has an incredible pattern that has made some great bowls. It’s a little hard to work with, but the results are worth it. The blanks arrived in great condition, fully dried, and ready to turn.

Customer photo review of Quilted Curly Sapele Guitar Headplate Wood Blank
Gary S.Verified
I have been a customer for nearly a couple years now. I buy small amounts, and mostly from the thin dimensional section. I love the exotic woods they offer, and I've always received excellent specimens of woods. Never had a crack, or any serious blemish in anything they've sent. I am very happy with the products and service of this supplier.

Daniel A.Verified
I have always bought my tone wood from Stew Mac, this is the first time buying from your company. Super impressed and will be buying all of my tone wood from exotic woods. I requested to added available service of your company doing the "glue up" and planing. The work done for that service(s) was a time saver, but also was performed excellent the joint was tight, and a very clean glue up. Highly recommend this added service and company.

Customer video review of B Ebony Guitar Headplate 200/220x105x3.5 mm
Mark C.Verified
The B ebony headstock veneer, B ebony fretboard and mahogany neck blank all came from Exotic Wood Zone. I am pleased with the quality of the products. The ebony has plenty of character with ample thickness and the neck blanks I get are all consistently straight- grained, quarter-sawn and milled flat and square.

Sorry about the socks. I had ordered a bunch of wood packs and they all came in great in this particular photo You can really see the black palm. It came to dimensioned correctly and they were solid good pieces of wood. I will definitely be buying from here again. I also love the fact that they plant a tree every time I buy something.

Well … the service and tone wood was terrific! I did not have to remove much wood for a perfect glueing. Drum sanding came out extremely well. Thank you for providing a great product.

Customer photo review of Padauk Cutting Board Lumber - 3/4" x 2" (4 Pieces)
Bryan R.Verified
My order came a few days early. The wood was perfect no bends or damage and packed well. I bought the same type of wood local and there were many imperfections which is why I purchased this. This is for a spice rack that I hope to complete soon. The weather here in Jersey is cold and living in a condo makes wood working difficult. I will get it done. I will be ordering from exotic wood again. Very happy.

Customer photo review of Hosco Hot Rod Dual Action 2-Way Low Profile Guitar Truss Rod by JOBOIS
Terrence M.Verified
First time using this, but the fit and finish seem excellent and it's small enough to fit into my relatively shallow necks. The only challenge with the difference in width and depth between the adjustment barrel, the end fabrication point and the actual rod. So, there are three different "sizes" to the overall rod. Can't just run one channel down the neck and be done. Had to route two additional short channels on the adjustment end.

The wood was high quality and beautiful! Tried and messed up a chevron board, salvaged this from the mess I made and the wood is still gorgeous. Got another pack to try again because I love the combination!

This Sapele lumber is amazing wood to work with. It is now my go-to wood for making keepsake and jewelry boxes. Sapele loves a tung oil finish which pops the grain to reveal the most beautiful grain patterns.

Customer photo review of Cherry Guitar Body Blank
Marc N.Verified
I bought the Cherry Guitar Body Blank to make a vibration isolation stand for my turntable. I ordered 2 pieces glued and planed. I should have requested both ends planed as well but got it done with 80-120220 grit paper. Stained natural and applied 3 coats of polyurethane. Finished with 4 rubber & cork 2"x2" vibration pads. Functions, Looks great and had fun with the project. Exotic Wood was a great find with quick ship and quality product. On to my next wood project!

Customer photo review of Zebrawood Turning wood Blank
Ed D.Verified
This is a beautiful piece of wood. Using it to create a set of checkers to get the most use out of the maple/walnut board I made for the maple/padauk chess pieces. The red checkers are bloodwood. Turned a raised center on the top of the checkers to align with the 1" cavity on the underside. Used a butcher-block wax finish on the Zebra wood pieces, wipe on poly for the bloodwood pieces, which is un-necessary. Wax leaves a consistent, smooth surface.

Customer photo review of Spalted Tamarind Wood Pen Blank
Leonard D.Verified
I enjoyed them so much I have ordered more pen blanks. I am narrowing down my favorites. They shipped and arrived quickly. The turned beautifully. The one thing you have to watch is they are unmarked. I ordered some that were similar, and having never turned them before I had trouble telling some of them apart. But at the price, I am okay with not knowing or guessing.

Customer photo review of Premium Ambrosia Maple 8/4 Lumber
James S.Verified
I ordered 10 BF of 8/4 Ambrosia Maple as a replacement for wood I ordered for a client but was hung up in customs from a Canadian supplier I use frequently. I ordered it and contacted customer service to see how soon they could get it out. She informed me they were out of 8/4 but couldn’t substitute 12/4. I told them to go ahead with it and it was shipped the same day. That was a Monday and I had it here in my shop on Wednesday. I have ordered quite a bit from Exotic Wood Zone in the past but ...

Gene A.Verified
I absolutely love Exotic Wood Zones 8/4 Cherry Lumber!! I use tons of cherry in my custom cutting boards and the quality is just amazing!! Very little, if any, sapwood on the boards and they are always super clean and clear boards!! No knots, or checking or inclusions. Moisture content is spot on every time as well. I prefer to buy from Exotic Wood Zone over my local Hardwood suppliers mainly because the quality and prices are better. I have purchased most species of EWZ 4/4 & 8/4 lumber on the ...

I turn segmented bowls and the wood from Exotic comes ready to use. The quality and deliver are great. I order the 2" strips and split for material to cut into wedges for bowls. Again wood is ready to go and I do not have to worry about unusable pieces. Thanks for a great product at a good price.
