Not just for guitars and tonewood - but furniture too!
There is a large range of colour to Limba from light yellow to golden brown. In some cases there are grey to black streaks that is referred to as black limba. The lighter colours are sometimes referred to as white limba. As the wood ages, it tends to get darker.
Black Limba is also very popular for our luthier customers who use it to make solid-body electric guitars due to it's very light weight and density.
The pieces we select for you will always have some black streaking in a percentage of the board - sometimes even the odd flair of orangy-brown can be found.
Great for crafts, scroll saw work, intarsia, chip carving, laser engraving, and much more!

The wood came as ordered. It was beautiful.
The wood was pristine well packed and beautiful. Looking forward to starting the build with this wonderful material. KJP Thankyou!
S4 Black Limba is ready to use straight from box for my intarsia projects.
Great product also fast shipping.
I love this wood. The grain of the Black Limba is stunning and the milling by KJP was expertly done. I can't wait to see this piece in my finished project. Thank you!
Very nice Black Limba and a treat to have access to a source that cares about providing small scale artisans the right materials in perfect condition to immediately use.
One of my favorite woods, and this shipment did not disappoint. 5 stars, would plane again.
First time ordering from KJP. Excellent customer service!! Bruce was very helpful. My one only complaint was that most of the boards were just slightly shorter than the listed lengths. Hopefully the next order will be better. Thanks again Bruce.
The wood was expertly cut, this will save me so much time.
Very pleased with the Black Limba!
Love the quality of the wood I've received KJP Select Hardwoods. I just received some 8/4 Black Limba. Beautiful grain, it will make some great pieces.
The plank i received only had 1/3 of the plank had black veins through it. The rest of the plank is plain with no black in the wood.
Very nice wood to work with, I am very pleased with the ordering process. I will be doing more business with kjp in the future.
All the product came without any issues. Love the look of all of it. Would definitely order again and recommend to others.
I received everything as expected in a timely manner
It arrived well packaged and had no damage. I used some for a basket weave cutting board
and the grain is amazing.
As usual the product was great. Very happy with the wood. It was straight and flat . Worked perfect for what I needed it for. Also thank you very much for the piece of olive wood. You sent the perfect piece. It was beautiful and I could not have been more happy. You met my specs perfectly. Thank you again. It is always a pleasure working with KJP hardwoods..
dont know how they do it but not only is the price for the lumber lower than anywhere else i can find shipping fees comming from Canada are half what they are coming from california i live in Orefgon so will do my lumber shopping from Canada & Tuck Frump
Perfect.
The 4/4 black limba piece is too warped to use, it’s nearly quarter sawn, would’ve been a good board for my application if not warped.
Box wood materials were just as ordered. The guy that milled the wood even called and asked about the projects I was using the wood for and made sure quality was given high priority. Thanks
My order arrived and it only took me a few minutes to start putting it into some cutting boards! I love the look of it! Quality every time I receive my orders .
Nice pieces, good to work with. No issues.
As always, Excellent lumber, repeat customer. Thanks for supplying quality lumber every time.
The 2” rough cut Black Limba I received from KJP far exceeded my expectations and the price was good to boot! Customer service was quick to contact me about some questions regarding my order and everything went smoothly. I will (and as we speak, am) buying from them again.
Thanks, KJP!
