Several of the boxes in Chris Stott's book "Turned boxes - 50 designs" include ebony finials. With the price of ebony locally at $8.00 per 125mm x 19mm square blank, that is a bit rich for boxes which are 'just for practice'.
This is from an offcut of Liquid amber, stained black using Wattyl Tradition Stain - Black and sprayed with 2 coats of automotive clearcoat acrylic lacquer. I noticed that Peter (Sturdee) has used black corian in some of his boxes, but I have not found a supplier locally willing to sell small blanks, hence the experimenting with staining cheap timber and lacquering.
I think it is an attractive alternative to ebony - but please don't try and pass it off as ebony of any description.
