I see that Mun ebony back & sides sets are being sold on E-bay & by some of the mail order suppliers. A quick Google search turned up nothing pertinent...
Is anyone familiar with this stuff?
I'd like to know more about its bending & gluing properties before I fork over the bucks. I've seen some pics & some of the sets are pretty spectacular looking.
TIA... Dan

Diospyros Mun....comes from Laos. Haven't used it but it seems to be used alot for pool cues etc.
