Subject: RE: Looking 4 special violin peg
when I do Ebony, it is always Diospyros spp. There are several Ebonys, but the real black stuff is usually Diospyros crassiflora or Gabon Ebony.

There are a couple of pretty 'white' woods which could give a bone color..i.e. Holly, but some real bone, or Ivory, or light antler would be best choice...
