runningwood Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 I heard this on NPR's show Marketplace last night. Thought everyone who loves wood would find as interesting as I did. These people carve appliance and car replacement parts out of ebony. here is a link to the transcription and slide show. http://marketplace.publicradio.org/display/web/2011/10/03/pm-ebony-woodcarvers-learn-to-craft-machine-parts/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimV Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Neat story. This statement bothers me: "Precious wood like Pau Preto is disappearing quickly with the rise of illegal exports by large logging companies from China." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jHop Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I tend to listen to music, just below the decibel level of the tools. I save NPR and other vocal podcasts for while I'm at the paying job... er... oops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
