I would like to locate a good source for ebony and holy that can used for inlays. Any suggestions?

I have been happy with the veneers that I get from Constantines at

Good luck!
Thanks
Do you seek veneer or aomething thicker? Personally, I like 1/16th to 1/8th range to work with for many types of inlay I tend to do.
1/16 to 1/8 of an inch is what I was going to try. I could go up to 3/16 of an inch. It's my first attempt at inlay so at this point I appreciate your comment on thickness.

I have gotten most of my holly and ebony from the Hardwood Store.

These are great people to deal with.
I have also been happy with the holly and ebony I get from Groff and Groff.

I got a beautiful piece of 1" X 4" X 48" ebony from Hearn a couple of years ago which I sliced into inlay and kept some thicker for handles.

Thanks!
