I got my Ebony log yesterday! Thanks Josh! I't in great shape so far, no visible cracks at all. I'm going to have to study it for a while before I decide what to do with it, I really like the sapwood look on ebony so I might try and make some natural edge things from it, I really appreciate all the hassle you went through to get this to me, I owe you one buddy!

No problem! My wife loved the vase so I truly appreciate the trade! I'll be interested to see what you do with it! I think it's still fairly green so it may take some time to dry but I'm certain you will figure something especially awesome to make with it! Thanks again Barry!
Interested in selling the log?
It's not a log any more, turned into other things and smaller chunks and not for sale, sorry

I just cut the only one I had in el paso up yesterday. It's some darn hard stuff! Did your log check alot once cut up?
Yea it did. I turned one small HF from the log, (showtime soon) and the other chunk started checking pretty bad, I should have sealed it better, So I cut it into blocks, still have lots of nice sized usable pieces. I'm pretty sure it's African Blackwood BTW.

I wasn't totally sure what it was. I just knew it was really black and very hard. Sorry it checked on you a bit. I hope you can still put alot of it to use.
No need for apologies Josh, it was mostly my negligence that to allowed it to check, I am more than happy with our deal, in fact, I feel like I skinned you

It's a pretty neat vase!No need for apologies Josh, it was mostly my negligence that to allowed it to check, I am more than happy with our deal, in fact, I feel like I skinned you
