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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persimmon

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.
