Texas Ebony anyone???

I'm finally about to have some time in the shop again!!!

I need a few pieces of dry Texas Ebony to use in the handles of the knives I put up in the St. Jude auction this year. I'm still a few weeks off from needing it, but I've been unable to find anything that isn't soaking wet.

Anyone have a few peices in the shop? I don't need much.

No Texas ebony but I have some Gaboon if you need it.

Dana,
The wax on the outside is to keep it from drying out too fast. Usually a real heavy coating to keep it wet for wood turning. That's all I can find and it would take a long time to dry (or check badly).

I might be able to get some for you. My buddy should have some left over from a couple of bows he built for me.

That'd be great!! I don't need much.
