Lignum Vitae is a hard wood which is often almost black but can vary through to brown or a rich yellow. It is used where toughness is required such as in sheaves of block pulleys or tool handles.

Ebony is a general term for hard, dense, black or very dark wood. It is sometimes used to refer specifically to the the wood from the Diospyros ebenum tree native to Inida and Sri Lanka.
