Tibetan support spindle with a beautiful parabolic shaped whorl made of Katalox. Complementary shaft made from Maple.

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.   From: The Wood Database
