Stewart-MacDonald has continued advertising their back/side wood sets and I just thought you guys would like to see this. I don't know how long it'll be up on the site, but below is the link to Stew-Mac to see all the Crelicam-sourced ebony sets they're offering.
Y'know, the days of ebony-colored ebony may be gone, but to me this stuff is just exquisite. Then again, I'm a sucker for bear-claw Sitka too. I just think this is incredibly beautiful stuff. Far more desirable (to me) than what flat ebony would've been for a guitar body/side tonewood. Maybe a flat-black fingerboard is more desirable, but clearly not for the body. Well, not to me anyway. I would think the same is true for furniture or whatever else ebony wood is used for!
These prices aren't exactly low, but if this is what it takes to maintain the supply of ebony in the modern world, then I have to say I'm not disappointed. I guess I'm still a Bob Taylor fan even if I don't particularly love their guitars. Can the same thing be done for rosewood and mahogany????
