I'm getting low on FB's. Nice price. Anyone care to comment on it's use as FB or bridge?. I've never seen the wood. Don't know about the name. Sounds kinda medicinal. (I'll leave it at that)

Martin is using it as a fingerboard and bridge wood for some models

Thanks. Chris, did you manage to find a quartered piece?

Thanks James. I saw that after a google search. Also saw this http://www.wood-database.com/lumber-ide ... s/katalox/ and this http://www.wood-database.com/?s=ebony.

Thanks for that. I see on the Janka Hardness Scale( who knew there was one of those, not I) it's harder than ebony. Think I'll give some a try.
