I am in conversation with the good folks at Gurian to produce end pins in Leadwood. This is a non- CITES tropical hardwood from Tanzania that I use for fingerboards and bridges. It ranges in colour from deep brown (similar to old Rio Rosewood) to almost ebony black, has curl and figure and is a great substitute for rosewood or ebony. It is not endangered and is legally logged mostly for the bagpipe and related wind instrument industries.
Gurian will only process 3 gross minimum - that's 432! I can front the cost of this project but as I only need half that quantity, may need some help moving them so any takers would be most welcome.
