Phillip,
Just my opinion here so keep that in mind, but I think you might have a tough go selling Osage Orange bridge blanks. Strictly for cosmetic reasons. It's probably spot on for tonal reasons.

But hey, you never know right?

Yeah, I know the color doesn't appeal to everyone, but you can always ebonize it. Anyway, it doesn't hurt to ask. I'm up to my gills in osage... :mrgreen:

Back/side sets (3/4 piece would be ok), bridge plate/head plate/inlay material, bindings, I'd be interested. I hear it also makes a decent violin bow, so maybe a stick for that as well :)

But I never have been able to warm up to the look of light FB/bridge, even on dark tops.

I have a bunch of OO in the basement to be used for bridges. I haven't tried ebonizing OO but heard it's rather difficult. Any tips?
