I really do not understand why you are having these thoughts. Ebony and many other hardwoods basically can neither be imported nor traded in. It is now illegal. So think of Ebony as unobtainium. That's why neither you nor anyone else can make a subchassis from it irrespective of how suitable it may or may not be.NB: it probably wouldn't be good as it would store energy then release it later (at a higher frequency). Not good. OK for clarinets where it provides (or provided) desired tonal characteristics which, however and in contrast with music production, may not be wanted for music reproduction.
You ideally need a material that is very stiff and with low mass. Hence the choice of milled aluminium (Linn for top of line LP12s) or carbon fibre laminates/aluminium struts (Funk Firm).
