I have  an ebony pen, has a great feel to it...

Gee, what if I used ebony,  maple, and spruce... it'd be like a guitar, only
from within the inside...

Was going to use mahogany for the rear seat kick panel... and thinking  of
replacing the ac duct with curved wood.. just like they curve wood for
guitars... cause that plastic is going to decay at some point... and break and
crack....

Maybe I could get an ebony dash... its just damaged vinyl  with overspray
right now...

Was thinking of having mahogany door  panels.. (veneer over airplane birch
ply... ) with maybe leather accent, and  solid wood handles...

Turning my vanagon into a yacht...

I don't think you want to price using real ebony..lol
Pergo has laminates in the Ebony and bleached pine variety that look good
though.
