Taylor Guitars co-founder Bob Taylor talks about the world's dwindling supply of ebony, the realities of ebony sourcing in Cameroon, and Taylor's efforts to preserve a sustainable supply for the entire musical instrument community. With the co-purchase of Crelicam, an ebony mill in Cameroon in 2011, Taylor began to develop a fresh framework for sustainable sourcing, one that blends socially responsible forestry with job training that will help Cameroonian communities support themselves and improve their living standards. A longer report details the ebony mill.
