Don't know if I can be of any help, but how many do you need immediately? 1, 10, all 30?

Just looked at your site and it looks like you might really need this stuff right away!

Here is someplace that might be helpful:

Sorry but I don't have the time to browse through it to pick out individual places.

Here is a page that has it listed though:

Hope that helps!

I've bought it off eBay. Brownell's sells it now. Houston Hardwoods sells it (713-686-6176). You do nice work. The Brno 602 is especially nice.

Well fla3006 had a good suggestion, this one ends in about 7 hours, but I don't know if it is what you are looking for specifically, nor what the final cost will be:

Wow, thanks for the quick replies. Brownells dropped the ebony the used to carry. Rockwells doesnt have the sizes I need (its so expensive they cut it into thin stuff for boxes, pens, inlays etc) But the Ebay thing I'm off and running. I have bought all kinds of stuff on Ebay and never thought about wood1 Go figure, you've been a great help.

Last time I got ebony from Brownells it was stamped "Hillrose Designs". They are listed under Vtgunsmiths.com.
Maybe they still sell it?

Check out www.e-wood.com . It is the ebay for lumber/wood. There was this listing; pobably not what you need for your immediate use.
