It took a while to grow on me, but now I like figured ebony.

Thanks for looking!

Very nice! Love those veneers too! But yes, black ebony is cool but I love some good figured ebony too. Part of the appeal of wood is the unique character that you can get from it.

Those veneers are looking pretty crisp. I also agree on the Ebony, a little character makes things interesting. Nice work!

I feel like the demand for jet black ebony was kind of like craze for super white shaft wood a while back, except it's stuck around much longer. I'm glad to see this post Larry. From a respected builder like you, this is a good point of view to share.

For those who haven't seen it, here is an awesome video about sustainable ebony harvesting practices by a company that makes excellent guitars.

Sometimes the uglier the wood, better looking the cue
Congrats to the owner. Larry's work is top notch and plays good too.
