Ebony can be difficult. If you are using a friction polish or any
finishing method which generates heat, that could make the problem
worse. Heat from aggressive sanding may also contribute to the problem.

Hi all,
Recently started using ebony as inlays in small turned boxes. Problem
is that they develop radial cracks in the process. Any advice to
prevent this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
John
