Our local deconstruction/recycling reuse organization has several hundred thousand board feet of Brazilian Ebony 2" by 7" by 10' groove and groove from a deconstructed sound barrier along US 90. Given the hardness, I seek conversations with others who have used this wood to make furniture or counter tops. They say the saws dull quickly and they did not try to plane. I think they probably used cheap blades and wonder if carbon steel tipped saws and planers would be the best approach. Any other ideas on how to use these treasures?
