Thanks chaps. More items

Here's a pair bound for Mike of N.Y USA. Great taste in arms

Ortofon AS-212s armbase mounted on ebony turned earlier.



Ortofon RS-212D mounted on African Blackwood armboard I just turned. Antiseptic smell when working. It is indeed antiseptic and disinfectant - hence being used for clarinets, oboes, bassoons etc - to disinfect spittle.



The pair side by side, to compare African Blackwood on the left, Ebony on the right. As can be seen the blackest area of the African blackwood are very black, but there are more lighter grains and flows than ebony - interestings.

The African blackwood is more dense and harder by a bit. Tougher to sand down for polishing.
