Comments: Katalox has exceptional strength properties, and is among the very stiffest and strongest woods available worldwide. Its dark color makes it a popular substitute for ebony, and the wood is sometimes called Mexican Royal Ebony, though it is not a true ebony in the Diospyros genus.
Some common uses are inlays, fine furniture and cabinetry, parquet flooring, guitars, turnings, and other small specialty items.
