Persimmon Wood Slabs

American Persimmon is a native tree prized for both its fruit and lumber. The fruit is sweet and slightly tart. The timber is difficult to dry, but our high-tech vacuum kilns can keep the movement minimal and stabilize any surface checking. When dried correctly, the wood can be used for all types of applications. Up until the end of the 20th century, one of the most common uses was in golf clubs. The wood has a wide, light-colored sapwood with a small, black-colored heartwood. It’s often called White Ebony because it is in fact part of the Ebony family. The more commonly known Ebonies have a much wider heartwood but are extremely expensive. It’s popular to use a black graphite additive in epoxy to fill any splits in the slab. This will match the black heartwood and gives a nice accent to the piece. The wide sapwood and thin heartwood is rare, making Persimmon extra-special.
