1831 African Gaboon Ebony.

Not sure of correct spelling.....Gaboon or Gabon. I see the wood database lists it as Gaboon only, but I continually see it spelled both ways. So, which spelling is the correct version?

Original block was 22% MC. After roughing and anchorsealing, it took a total of 12 months to stabilize. 5 1/2" x 1 7/8", 7.6oz, sanded to 600gt, Danish Oil Natural, Beall 3-step buffed.
