    You are absolutely correct. Great content, hard to believe there aren't more people watching you. Not that hard to believe really. Most people don't want to learn anything, just be entertained. I'm going to share you with my very small guitar forum. It might get you a couple of subs.

    I save the saw dust to fill in cracks on ebony fret boards with super glue. Blends perfect. So expensive to not waste any of it.

    I bought a fair sized piece of ebony (6"x8"x5') some years back and have made a few projects with it.
    I'd love to know how you finish it to get it to be smooth and beautiful. My only failing in working with it.

      That sounds like a beast. It must be very heavy.
      Finishing Ebony is usually quite easy. It's dense enough to sand down to a very smooth surface.
      I don't use any finish on the fretboards I make as finger grease usually does the job over time. I don't usually sand finer than 320p grit. If you prefer not to use sandpaper, then using a sharp hand scraper should do the trick.

    What blade are you suing on the bandsaw for resawing ebony?

    • @chuckmorrison
      @chuckmorrison  2 роки тому +1

      My normal choice for band sawing - a wood slicer blade, will die (and has) a fast death with ebony, so I usually just use a cheaper 4tpi hook tooth blade. If I have one that has been used before but isn't terribly dull, I'll use it as a sacrificial offering to the wood.

      I wonder how often one would say "that was as good as it will ever get?"
