Most EXPENSIVE TREE in the WORLD | African Black wood
Some woods are incredibly expensive while some are extremely rare. By the way, sandalwood is generally considered expensive, which costs between Rs 3,000 and Rs 6,000 per kg, but you will be surprised to know that there is a kind of wood in the world which is much more costly than sandalwood.
Even the rich will think twice before buying it.
The name of this wood is African Blackwood. It is one of the most valuable materials on earth. It cost around £8,000 per kilogram or £7,000 per log or more than seven lakh rupees.
African Blackwood trees are relatively short in comparison to other trees - growing to about 25 - 40 feet high. The distinctive trunk of an African Blackwood tree makes it easy to identify. thanks to the irregular tubular grooves that run around its circumference.
African Blackwood is found in 26 countries in central and southern Africa.
It takes 70-100 years for these trees to attain timber size. The trees are prematurely pruned due to illegal trafficking of timber in countries like Kenya and Tanzania. This has drastically reduced the number of blackwoods, making them rare.
The timber itself is incredibly dark, with little or no visual grain, with a very fine, straight and even grain. It's an incredibly hard, stiff, tough and stable wood that can be difficult to work with due to its dense and heavy physical properties. Blackwood polishes well, leaving a stunning lustrous finish.
The wood of African Blackwood is mostly used in making musical instruments such as clarinet, flute and guitar. Apart from this, strong and durable furniture is also made from this wood, but they are quite expensive.

I am happy to see that they don't chop down the tree, but rather trim off the branches. Very good idea! It preserves our precious trees and still gives us wood, amazing.

Have you seen pictures of Africa?? They already chopped all the trees down
How beautiful... Nature's creation..oh God🙏🙏🙏
The piece of Blackwood I've had for decades is marked with a loggers stamp 'Product of Tanganyika' on the end. Tanganyika was only a country for a few years back in the early 60's I believe.
Thats very interesting , I was in the tree service industry for 15 years and I didn't know until now...thanks!

They won't, because the ones who are illegally harvesting the wood, wish to strip Africa of all resources, and claim the spoils for themselves.

African blackwood, a true rosewood Dalbergia melanoxylin, is certainly beautiful and a wonderful wood, but it is not the most expensive wood in the world. That distinction would have to go to its cousin Siamese rosewood, Dalbergia colchencinensis, sometimes called flamewood. Because of high demand from China, it is being cut illegally in Thailand and is considered critically endangered by the IUCN. The other extremely valuable wood is another rosewood, Dalbergia nigra, or Brazilian rosewood. This is considered the best tone wood in the world for making guitars, marimbas, etc. It is now so rare that it is listed in Appendix 1 of the CITES treaty, meaning that it cannot be traded internationally under any circumstances. There are a few pieces for sale in the US that were imported pre ban, and they sell for more than $800 a board foot.

Glad there's someone else here that knows African Blackwood isn't the most expensive. In fact, its one of the upper middle rosewoods in terms of pricing. Kingwood, Bois De Rose, and Tulipwood exceed it in value and there's a lot more than that. Even most of the ebony family beats African Blackwood in value. We use African Blackwood as a substitute for Gaboon Ebony since it comes in better quality and its significantly cheaper (around 25-35% depending on quality)

Thus tree takes around 70-100 years to harvest.... And sandalwood around 12-15 years... Sandalwood per tree around 12kg heart wood that means 120000 per tree... In 12 years.... What if after 70 years whole world banns African black wood... Its on extinction.... Always invest in that u can guarantee...
