Lew, that's a nice collection you have.

I'm surprised the gaboon ebony ones would be tourist pieces, given its weight and hardness. That wood might be my among my first choices for a good head-basher.

Gabon ebony is very dense and I am sure it was used on certain older clubs. The ones to look out for are rungu clubs seems they use that wood a lot when making the tourist pieces I have one in my collection.

It is currently listed of sale in the swap section so we really can't discuss it now in the open forum.
