comp56 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 ok so I have walked by this stuff 100's of times and never had the nerve to buy it, I don't know what the hell I'm doing buying the most expensive wood in the world. I bought a piece 1/4" thick 2" wide 10" long for a mere $22.76 lets see how much of the sawdust I can save. you want to talk gold dust...lolI will post a project of some kind soon....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comp56 Posted February 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 African ebony, the real deal. hard as glass, so dense it does not float and the blacker it is the more it costs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMack37 Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Have you ever considered doing humidors? It seems like an exercise in creativity and people will pay good money for them. Might be a way to finance your experimenting with high end hardwoods. I can recommend some great cigar forums(similar to the friendly community here) if you want to look into it. I think you have the skill set to be able to do high end humidors. Here's a link to a gentleman that started doing it as a hobby and I believe he ended up quitting his day job and doing this full time. http://www.waxingmoonhumidors.com/home Notice his pretty reasonable prices at around $500-$650 for a 19.5" X 12" X 8" humidor.
