Ebony Wood Where Are You?

[GarageWoodworks]

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.

's pricey stuff. Wowsers.

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

will be pricey, but worth a call.
