Up for grabs this time is a beautiful set of Macassar Ebony with dramatic figure and nice symmetry. This set is large enough for an OM.

The retail value of this set is $280.

Bidding will continue through tomorrow at noon. The auction may be ended early with a bid of $280 and we will include free shipping.

I'll start off with $150 because if, through some wacko oversight on the part of everyone else, I actually win that's all I could pay without incurring the wrath of 'she who monitors the spending'. idunno

Steve, we wouldn't want you to endure that kind of fate, would we? I'll go $175.

Shouldn't this be in the Eye Candy discussion?
If I only had a job.

Hi Filippo,

I have developed my little Photoshop routine to visualize how some tonewood set looks under finish. It's of course not totally accurate, but it gives the basic idea.
