A handmade home for woodworkers and admirers of woodworkers. Our community icon is a planter box made by @Captain Aggravated, the winner of our summer '24 woodworking contest. Congratulations!
From what I've seen of the wood, it has lots of stark little lines and color changes. A broad piece that shows off the variations (like a table) would be a good choice. I've also seen people turn them into bowls, dishes, coasters, and charcuterie boards.
I've also seen some carvings, but I feel like the particular colorations just make the final piece look busy or dirty.
I havn't worked with it, but i bet a table would be stunning.
I'm glad you agree. I'm just curious what it will be like working with a wood that's got a ~2700 janka hardness.
IF this project ever actually comes to fruition, I'm considering just burnishing as a finish, but that's waaaaaayyyyyy far off
