I know that at times the temptation to turn a nice exotic piece is overwhelming. However to be able to continue to enjoy our hobby / work for the years to come, we have to be green from time to time. Unfortunately, it's not easy to be green
Has anybody found responsible supplies of some of our favorite blanks? I know I don't use Lignum Vitae or Wenge. But what about ebonies? What about Amboynia? Even bocote is disappearing from Mexico and people are falling ironwood in the natural parks or arizona . I'm really finding myself drawn more and more to domestic temperate woods...
Does anybody have the same concerns and how should we purchase blanks in a responsible manner?
