1996 Epic on Ebay
« on: July 28, 2015, 10:24:11 AM »
Would anyone be willing to give me an opinion of this Alembic for sale on Ebay:
1996 Epic
 
Is the top Zebra wood?
 
This would be my first Alembic.  
 
Thanks,
Pat

Not sure if it's zebra wood, if it is it's lighter than most.  Still very pretty and, at $1200, a very good deal.

If you get it for close to that opening bid, that's a pretty good deal. Looks like zebrawood to me... could be the picture. I'd guess anything less than $1350. Good luck, hope you don't get sniped.

I'd guess it could be bocate as it's similar colour and look as my Europa but more straight grained.
 
 
Did you win the auction?

Thanks for the input.  I did not bid, but it did not sell.  I sent the seller an email to see if I can make a deal.
