Both of my local yards don't carry ebony wood. Woodcraft carries it, but it costs an arm and a leg. Anyone know of a good mail order for it?
I need a few 8" strips for some inlay. And a few 1/4" square plugs.
Thanks

You might also consider Blackwood.
Consider looking at pen blanks. IIRC I bought a dozen Blackwood pen blanks for about $20.
You may want to look for some persimmon, also.

When has ebony not cost an arm a leg? Maybe before the ancient Egyptians started using it? :-)
A crowbar to the wallet is needed for ebony.

Not sure exactly what you need, but Lee Valley carries some.

Clarks Hardwood Lumber in Houston. They had quite a bit today, probably in excess of a hyndred bf.
