James, is that the sapwood still on the heartwood or part of your work or carrying to mix two woods? If it's the sapwood it might be tougher to find.
I can think of only one supplier who regularly stocks blackwood more raw like that. But some of the guys on forum might have some and should get first dibs.

How much are you looking for? I have some two-tone I cut for knife scales that might work for you.
I have plenty of ebony that has a sharp heart/sap delineation. How thick are those pendants?

As much as you can spare and I can afford.

Anywhere from a quarter inch to 1/2 inch thick.
Andrew is up first but down the road I can supply you as much as you want for a very good price.

Okay thank you
@pinky, I'm not trying to highjack the thread, but I would be interesting in some of the ebony. What's the length of those bundles in your picture?
Thanks, Larry
Around 27" long 1/4" to 7/16th" thick and 3" to 5" wide. Send me a pm on what you need.
Looks like pinky can keep you supplied for a couple of lifetimes! If y'all can't work something out, let me know, but it looks like he has a lot more to spare than I do!

Its the sapwood still on the heartwood. I can't remember who I got it from on this forum, but I had asked for live edge and got a box with one blackwood in it which was a live edge. I don't really want cut straight edges.
Thanks, Andrew!
Based on size are those for guitar fingerboards?
Never seen them in ebony but I bet that looks great.
Correct.... fingerboards. Most of the all black has sold for just that purpose. A lot of 2 tone and streaky stuff left.
