The Ebony Stick from Shellvedge & Dapper Woodworks
Ebony sticks will now be available permanently on the site. They will be made to order and may take up to 5-6 weeks to produce your order.
Made from durable ebony wood, this stick is dense and hard, perfect for buffing out scuffs and scratches.
Size is roughly 5.75" long by .90-.95" diameter. This will vary slightly as this is a hand-turned product.
Ebony stick is hand-turned on a lathe, and then hand sanded and buffed for a natural finish.
Made in USA from Gaboon Ebony sourced from Africa.
Customer Reviews
Quick turn time. Superb packaging from the reenforced bubble wrap shipping envelope to the classy box with high density foam to protect the stick. I chose the Ebony version and it is a thing of beauty. Excellent craftsmanship. The stick is plumb and true. Not a blemish one and the glossy finish is smooth as the preverbal babies bottom. I used the stick to smooth out a few rolls and scuffs on a pair of Alden 990’s. The shape is well thought out and allows you to get into a lot more places than a deer bone. A few quick licks with a horse hair brush when finished with the stick and your shoes will look brand new. Justin is a true craftsman and I can highly recommend his stick. Money well spent.
Wow thank you so much for this amazing review, it made my day! I'm so glad you noticed all the details such as the packaging, the shape, and the smoothness of the ebony stick. I take a lot of pride and crafting the best products that I can, and I'm glad you enjoy using the stick!
A must have if you love cordovan shoes . Perfect. design makes bring leather to a nice even shine easy .
I was skeptical before using this product, after trying some other cordovan tools, but had some shell Carmina oxfords that really needed TLC. I'd used a deer bone in the past without much luck and figured what the heck. But, I'm 100% a convert and believer in the polishing stick now. I had some scratches that a brand new Hanger Project brush put in my shells (yeah, that was a bad day) and the ebony stick really helped to remove a lot of the scratches. Glazing with it brought back a lot of the luster the shoes had lost as well. Along with some cream, wax, and elbow grease, my Carminas finally once again look like they did when I took delivery nearly 10 years ago. The ebony stick is well made, easy to use, and definitely works. Great product!
I appreciate the My new cordovan massage tool . It's working well. Legit craftsmen too by the way ... sometimes there's nothing better than a good ol Hand-built tool . Also..
