Discovered their website and inventory. Good prices. Ordered three Indian Ebony fretboard blanks and they look great. Anyone here worked with Indian Ebony? I have heard it can be little hard on saws and edged tools. Thanks  8D97667F-4915-4EC6-99E6-8B2378569831 by Terence Kennedy, on Flickr

I looked around briefly. Nice to see usable wood offered at comfortable pricing. I think us build-for-themselves luthiers (?) can have a fine time and turn up some gorgeous instruments without breaking the bank. Movie money. Just buy your soundboards somewhere else... |

I didn't see anything I couldn't get from SM for the same price and their prices are high. The spruce tops are ridiculous unless you just have to have Alpine spruce. |

It bugs me that all of the photos of the back and sides sets show only one side piece. If I'm going to buy a set, I want to see all of it so I know exactly what I'm getting. |

When they were selling through the luthiers club on Facebook I was getting great deals. $10 a piece for ebony fret boards and I got some really nice EIR too. The rosewood was of very good quality imho as were the fretboards. But yeah I noticed once they got a website up it's pretty much all market price now. They send emails with specials once in a while though. Over all though they were fast, good to work with and good quality. |

My question was how are the working properties of Indian Ebony vs. African. Can anyone help me on this one? Mr. McKenna? |

Oh sorry I missed the point. Well interestingly I found some things different. I bought several from them, I think 30 at the time. There were a few that actually had curly figure in them. They looked really cool but as you can guess were harder to work. But if you have a drum sander then no worries. Incidentally once they were on the guitar and finished with wax they looked just all black and you could not see the figure. I would tend to agree that working with the Indian Ebony was a bit more moody. |
