Where the hell is he getting ebony for $75 a s.f.?
This small piece (3" x 3" x 12") is almost 140 bucks:
I have a pack of 5 pen blanks I bought a decade ago for about $15. Prices have gone up since then, and the wood is now crap compared to the stuff I have. Notice how it's all streaked, instead of the jet black older stock used to be. Think piano keys vs. just looking like regular wood, only a bit darker.
Where the hell is he getting ebony for $75 a s.f.?
