I recieved my package from China yesterday and needed to make a bridge for a 00. I figured I'd go ahead and make one in ebony and the other in Blackwood Tek. The BWT machined well and smells like the inside of a Pier 1 Imports when working. The ebony bridge weighed 30.5g and the BWT ended up at 26.5g. I've got a couple hundred pounds of ebony on hand and will likely only use the BWT for folks that are hoping for a border-proof guitar. Can you tell which is which? |

Not from that distance as the picture pixelated before you can see the pores, but they both look good! |

I would guess the left one since the right one is not jet black throughout. Isn't the manufactured stuff supposed to be fully black? The one on the left is BWT I meant. |

The only manufactured stuff that is absolutely black is the Richlite. The Rocklite and the BWT have visible grain/color streaks, and you are right, it's the one on the left. |

Actually Logan answered correctly before you did so no prize which isn't really a big deal because he's not getting one either I'll let you know if I decide to sell some sets, or I can put you in touch with the folks in China.
