Greetings
A few years (could be four or five) ago I purchased some Ebony at a Sydney TWWS. For the life of me I cannot remember what species it is.
Stuck in my tiny brain is the memory that the full name had to do with a Pacific Island, but I'm not sure. The bloke had a fair bit of it. I bought box making, pepper grinder and pen blanks and I big chunk about 4 inches square and a foot long.
Anyone have any ideas what the species may be?
Regards
Solomon Island Ebony, That's my best bet.
Macasser Ebony?? Lots of black with some tan patches.

Solomon Island Ebony is the same thing as Queen Ebony I think - I have some too, also purchased at a TWWW show years ago. There has been at least one guy selling this at just about every show for years now.

Can have quite a lot of pure black in it, but nowhere near as uniformly black as true (i.e. Gabon) ebony.
Solomon Island is what it is, I wasn't sure until I read your comment about Queen Ebony Mr Brush.
Thanks for the respones. I couldn't think of it to save my life. Cheers.
Yes I bought some too and he was calling it Queen Ebony.
Queen Ebony is what I purchased according to the bloke I got it off at the Sydney show years back. Had all good intentions of making something nice but 5 or 6 years down the track now the boys sit in my shed on a Friday afternoon with a cold beer and crack macadamias on it. Has dented yet.
