You guys gotta stop posting stuff like this. It's killing my budget. :rolleyes: $24 for 1 x 3 x 24 in. Gaboon ebony is less than half the board-foot price for comparable rough stock of Gaboon in my area. And a 5-pack of pen blanks for roughly the cost of one at woodcraft. Hard not to stock up...

It is people like you that bust budgets for others like me! I was content to look at this sale and say "how nice" but your comments pushed me over the edge to buy which is killing my budget. Thanks for that!!! ;-) Oh, well it's only 2022 money.

Has anyone else had problems with pens made from ebony cracking? I now use ebony only for accents and segmenting because every single ebony pen I ever made cracked within a year. Maybe it is just our dry desert climate.

I have used Gabon ebony for many pens over the years and never had one crack that I know of. Now I have some in storage that I may have to pull out and check before I go to craft shows again. I just made and have a few more I am working on that incorporates gabon ebony. If it cracks on pens then it should crack when segmented too which I have not found either. Have a blank I made last year that I was suppose to spray a lacquer finish on it and never did get around to it. I looked at it today and it is still fine.
