The Barnaby and Martin extensions look pretty much identical to me. In fact I thought that Tom might have been selling for Peter Barnaby but it would seem not. I'm not sure how either are supplied as mine came with the bass when I bought it. I've only ever seen them mounted on wood that I would agree isn't as nice as ebony, but I guess we must be less fussy over here! It doesn't really need ebony I wouldn't have thought as the wood doesn't get the wear that a manual extension does. I think Peter Barnaby is still making extensions. I sent mine back to him for a service a few months ago which he did really speedily. He doesn't seem to have a website but has does have e-mail.
Hope this is of some use - I really love my Barnaby extension as it's so much better made than the old Fawcett ones.
