I went to Honolulu earlier this week to have Cataract surgery. Wow ! I can see again..... now if I can learn to measure I'll have it made.
Anyway a buddy had this and gave it to me Black palm wood. Comes from the Black Palm tree (duh) but this stuff it almost as hard as Santos. Tough stuff. Trying to figure what to do with it, I can tell you this, the dust from the cut comes off like fine fiber and my guess this stuff will iritate your skin like nettle. It also looks like if you turn it you need to be extra careful for tearout.
Thought I would share since it is just such a random piece of wood.
