This guy makes some out of African Blackwood, also known as Mpingo (similar to Ebony ... used to make clarinets)

If you are interested in exotic woods, take a look here:
http://www.gilmerwood.com/
This site is the closest thing to an encyclopedia of fine woods that I have found. On the left index, scroll down to the "Species and Name Index". Takes a while to load, but check the listings and cross-references for "Ebony". Ebony and Rosewood are a little like using "Kleenex" for any paper tissue. There are a wide number of dark woods called Ebony, and some that actually are. Rosewood is another that is surprising. There is at least one variety of Rosewood for every continent. Most are one species, "dalbergia", but the variety is amazing. Just the pictures of their samples are worth the run through the site.

Try looking at www.eaglegrips.com
I bought the rosewood and the buffalo horn for my ruger blackhawks. They offer ebony in double and single action revolvers.

Man, I have about 4 or 5 pairs of ebony grips on my guns.
I sort of have a thing for ebony, linen micarta, G10 and black/gray laminated grips. Most of the grips on the guns in my photo album have been replaced after the pictures with some sort of black-ish grips.
Look! There's three sets of ebony grips on guns in this one picture along with two pair of ebony grips up on top of the table.

I have two sets of ebony grips for S&W j-frames. Mine are the Secret Service grip by Eagle Grips, one is smooth, one checkered, and they are all black with no light grain in them. Look good on stainless or nickel guns.
A few reasons:
1.) You live in Florida, and I live in Ohio. Since we've never shared a range together you haven't seen my Hi Power Practicle with Spegel Ebony wood grips.
2.) I'm too lazy to go down and open the safe and take a picture of it.
- even if I did -
3.) Pictures don't do them justice. You can't see the grain in the wood, so they look a lot like plastic or something equally disgusting. It's only when you see them up close and personal that you can appreciate the traces of brown grain, mixed with the black color.
