I was at a store and the employee had a special edition mcdermott that had this very black handle area. I asked if it was ebony and the guy says it is. I could see no grain under close inspection. I looked it up on the computer and McDermott web site says reconstituted ebony. What the hell is that. Is it any good. Looking for info.
 
If they called it reconstituted ebony then it should mostly be made from ebony. I was told that back in the eighties, with the D series, the light colored joints and but cap were supposed to be made of a wood product and epoxy. With ebony getting so expensive, they may be saving the dust and shavings and doing the same thing.
