WTB: Mun Ebony 48x8x5

[tcarltonw]

@tcarltonw Some woods you do nothing to and they dry just fine. Some woods you use anchor seal on ends to slow down drying . And so on. Then you have very hard to dry woods that you really want to retard drying. Ebonies are on this list. So they mill and dunk pieces in molten paraffin wax. This stays on until dry. These pieces were taken care of in the right way. Shipped to Hawaii, then to me. They have been in crates since 2011. Dry and ready to use.
I will try to picture today.

I appreciate you taking the time to share info/processes.

What kind of wax? Is it applied once the % is where you want it to stay, like it completely seals it?


Gotcha, am interested in the darkest stock that's available.

36x5.5x2.125 this one 2.9 + bd ft I picked a planed one. They are all black with wax on. It is beautiful wood.

Anytime. We cannot learn if we do not ask.

Would it be possible to get a 12" section of that?

Sure, as long as it is 12" of 1 end or other. we will talk tomorrow.

1 bd ft. =$75 I probably would cut off bottom. Looks solid. Let me know. This would ship for $17

Wood received and it's amazing how dense it is.

It is. And wait till you sand or turn smooth. Polishes like glass.

I haven't bought any wood since last year (2023). @Mike1950 if available, i'd like the other 24" of the the board that you cut for tcarltonw's from. I have no idea what i'm going to do with it, so would prefer to get it uncut unless it's stupid money to ship to 46350. Let me know if it's available. No rush--thanks!!
