That's it, i'm building a ram and tearing those ugly stonesteads down to make space for a hall. This is amazing, especially the second one.

@Redkat - still searching ...

I think I found it.. Blue Mahoe - at least its blue sometimes. Honestly I think it might be Purpleheart tree I saw back then but it looks pinkish in those pictures I found.

Look at these pages. Amazing wood all over.
Some probably from endangered tree though. I believe Ebony should be on that list.

Its almost like Jorb got ideas from this for the various trees of the Hearthland.

I've been talking to a wood "expert" (doing furniture restaurations), he told me about Blue Mahon but also said it "looses" the blue fast and turns into other colors ... i'll point him to that Griffin page he'll like it (if he doesn't already knows it).

Ebony is used for fretboards and woodwinds - even it's in the Red Data Book (IUCN) since 1994 http://www.iucnredlist.org/search not many care ...

Ebony is in danger, yes. In Spain, even if its forbidden, you can still acquire from african contraband. It was relativelly easy some years ago.
Of course its a shame.

100% spruce did not come out quite the way I imagined.
