Thanks for the reply. I was thinking of making an ebony bridge but I got reccomendations, in an earlier post, that maple is stronger and less likely to break than ebony. I asked about ebony and the metal rod because I thought the ebony would be much less likely to break because of the metal rod. Any thoughts on that supposition?
Thanks,

Again, just a surmisal, but I'd think the metal rod would prevent *anything* from cracking what's under it; the rod spreads the tension so that any one string isn't directly cutting down into the wood.
