Picked up some lumber

I picked up some soft maple and ebony at a hardwood lumberyard, Downes and Reader in Stoughton, MA.

I bought a 9ft long piece of 5/4 (1 1/4 in thick) maple about 5in wide, and some 4/4 (1in thick) ebony.  One small piece of ebony wide enough for the peghead and one long enough for the neck.

The maple was $20.00 and the ebony was $140.00!  The ebony is all covered in wax.
