Ebony Macassar. It was a great find indeed.

Beautiful wood. I’ve only done one small project with it. Watch out for splinters. DAMHIK.

That’s a lot of coin sitting in the bed of your truck! Nice score!

Dude, how much did you pay? Wait, don’t tell me, I might cry!

My wife says I should sell it because It’s too expensive for a front door. I should probably consider that because I don’t have the skill set to make anything else yet. Just couldn’t pass it up, but it will probably be a few years before I use it. Maybe I should try and trade it for a woodworking lessons… I would probably kick myself in the butt for selling it, that’s why I have a pole barn full of stuff. You just never know when you might need it…

If that is the case, then get busy and pick up your skills! All I suggest is to NOT use this stuff to practice on. Wait until you indeed mastered the skills for whatever project you are planning for this wood. Good luck!

I’d recommend you hold onto it for veneering. A shop
with a saw really designed for resawing would be able to
cut it for you with minimal material loss. An advantage
of using your own veneers is they can be made thicker
which makes them workable as solid wood, more or less.

The boards look wide enough to make guitar sides and
4-5 piece backs. You can go to lmii.com and see what
they are getting for guitar sets in this species.

Nice score!
