Anyone use this flavor? I seen Scott phillips use some and wondering about it.
...please tell me that the bowl is one with rings not 8 different bowls stacked together...
Jim King is in Peru S.A. helping them with a forestry program and part of it is identifying and naming wood species. I don't know for sure, but he could have named it. Dalmation wood is one I know he named. It should have been Kryptonite. That stuff is the hardest I've ever turned. I have to re-sharpen my tools about every 3-4 minutes.
I haave turned some Orange Agate and is great looking and a joy to turn.

It looks a little like Osage Orange, I've spent some time in Peru and worked with some of the hard woods there on mission trips. Some of that wood you can't drive a nail into.
Beautiful bowl.
I'm sorry. I should have mentioned the toxicity, too. Good catch, Frank.
As new woodworkers come on board, we need to help them stay safe.
Even some local woods are toxic.
