Default Indian Rosewood and Ebony

I've just recieved a pack of Indian Rosewood and Ebony today, but theres way more here than I'll be able to use in the near future.
I had to make a large order or they wouldnt do the sale,,, so now I figgured I should at least offer some here. They are rough sawn (need to be dressed down) but are well seasoned and ready to work.

The pic here has 2 sticks (example), but i'll put 3 in the lot.
1 x Ebony and 2 x Rosewood for $100,,,,, and free postage in Australia.
Sound like a good price?



Average measurements are:
Ebony: 55cm x 6.5cm x 8mm
Rosewood: 53cm x 7.5cm x 9mm

Any questions, just give me a yell

Hi Aussie, just a quick question, are you able to make necks up to any design?

I think that the Ebony set onto a balck Strat would look awsome.

I have only ever seen Maple or Rosewood necks, but would love to have mine with an ebony one.

Are you able to do this? I just do not have the skills....

Yeah sure, but technically i dont think im allowed to offer to do that on this thread.
I think the rules of sale here are only for the actual pieces offered and nothing else.
BUT,,,,,,,, if you ask that question again in my other thread, i think that might technically be permitted

Heres an example of something im working on now.



So yeah, easy enough to do and im pretty sure I have a neat bit of rock maple here that would cover a strat neck. If not, I know have enough Mahogany.
The neck in the pic is a "fan fret" but I can do standard scales too.

The stuff is 8-9mm thick so theyre fretboard blanks. An ebony neck.....maybe but keep weight of the neck in mind. Cost would also be a factor...an ebony neck blank would cost a whole lot more than most other common neck woods.

No just the fingerboard. A whole ebony neck would be way too heavy and expensive
