Trite answer, given many times over the years.
For bracelets purchased from the same supplier of the same wood "ebony" and "Blackwood", according to the availability. Depending on the party it can be pure black, black with white (almost white) streaks, temnokorichnevoj, temnokorichnevoj with small lighter streaks. Depends not only on the specific subtype
(

but just from the party, introduced at the moment. As-or to affect this is not technically possible, but is in fact not necessary, it's all wood of the same type, dense, does not require coating, as socks with years preserve the color/look (well, except that is overwritten to a more polished look usually). That's exactly me now 7 bracelets of different "eras" of production, after the socks all look the same almost, although there are those that sickly black, there is brown.
Black wood is rare.
Also, as I have written many times, the links containing the wormhole, never to be rejected. Among the cabinetmakers, wood contains natural wormholes (look like pinned with a needle thin hole inside the link) is even more valuable as it provides different carved products for more flavor. Theoretically, they can be easily salivahana (masked) womadelaide thick polishes, but we don't use these in the manufacture of links. Rejection of the tree with wormholes would lead to polluting the treatment of rare wood species, and in addition there would be the question of how to estimate the cost of links, which in the most cheap BJ is considerable. All the links go into production. The presence of a wormhole on a particular BJ is not considered and will not be considered a marriage, I feel sorry for nature in the first place and it is not possible to say in a particular "stick" of a tree there will be 2% or 50% - it happens differently, and when you select a piece of wood is not visible, it comes in wax even color before cutting into separate boards not up to the end obvious, under the wax, it looks almost black.
At different points in time, we have also released bracelets and other options are valuable species, such as snake wood (snakewood), they way I liked in quality, unfortunately there is even harder than ebony, is usually a "log" contains a lot of wide cracks (characteristic of the breed) and marriage leave large pieces of wood in advance it is impossible to tell how many will turn out from a piece of wood bracelets or other items.
Manufacture of bracelets long been automated, standardized, and reduced to some internal quality parameters. The only criterion of rejection - visible cracks after production (or chipped parts.
Please note that we do not use any coatings (mastics/impregnation), as the years have shown that without them and the tree serves perfectly for years and no reactions to it from people. The Chinese manufacturers have ready-made bracelets made of black wood on sale on aliexpress/the eBay, but to identify where there are fake and where the real tree is extremely difficult. Wood can be impregnated paint. Too smooth perfect color in the photo at the extremely low price suggests that the majority of suppliers is so, for below-market global cost of a tree it can't be
(it should be understood that when the manufacturing process goes into a lot of sawdust/crop, even with perfect cutting of wood).
I also want to see that ebony is not completely "nepomucenum" and long exposure to water will give a dark tree SAP (which provide color) in the water a little bit. I remembered that someone soaked the bracelets in a glass of water, asked what kind of water color - we used wood suppliers are absolutely sure, they "painted" don't sell, and it would not have looked like this. About something like that.
Overall, although the actual BJ from ebony, with all the range of products, we have a small piece of products and their production is carefully controlled and standardized process in which quality is paramount.
The type of wood in this process remains the same, because the number of valuable varieties has its own positive influence and energy of such wood feels just if not "charged" a stick of wood to sawing on the links to hold in the hand.
So it turns out that in fact the charging systems are combined BJ natural properties of wood.
It was the analysis and study of these combinations led to the production of a limited batch of bracelets from snakewood for example.<
