I like it. Dark themes are not my first choice, but I like the crisp, clean lines.  :thumbup:

The Future of Ebony
« on: June 24, 2012, 08:49:47 AM »
Saw this on one of the wood working forums that I visit and posted it here in the Poems, Music & Journals boards because it's about not only the worlds supply of ebony but also guitars.

This from YouTube:
Quote
Taylor Guitars co-founder Bob Taylor talks about the world's dwindling supply of ebony, the realities of ebony sourcing in Cameroon, and Taylor's efforts to preserve a sustainable supply for the entire musical instrument community. With the co-purchase of Crelicam, an ebony mill in Cameroon in 2011, Taylor began to develop a fresh framework for sustainable sourcing, one that blends socially responsible forestry with job training that will help Cameroonian communities support themselves and improve their living standards.

Yes, I work for a woodworking factory. You should see how much of the stuff they throwaway...rather shred it.

It's a shame how much we waste things in our quest for the 'best' product.
