@RexB is interested in Gabon ebony and I have this one piece left from a long-ago project. It is 28" long, 3.8" wide and a full 1" thick. There are some seasoning cracks along one edge so I'm pricing it as 3" wide. It's hard to see but there is some nice curly figure in the wood. It has not been planed so the beautiful black with streaks of gray don't show very well. Usable board feet is 0.6.

This is a billet that was hacked out of the tree with a machete and carried out of the jungle. The machete marks are still on the edges. Very hard to find good ebony like this these days. I've had it since 1993.

Price is $50 plus shipping by UPS ground or Priority Mail, which ever way works for Rex or the buyer.

Rex has first dibs but if he passes, it's available for anyone else.

I will have to pass on this, it is a great price. Thank you.

I will be spending the next 2 months working on the 2 pieces of butternut from you as I'm slow.
