And the latest wood in the stash is….persimmon!
It’s an ebony, and it cuts and works like it.
Got the bole of a fruit tree that was in pretty bad shape and have managed to resaw a couple of small back and side sets. It’s about the same density as macassar ebony but lighter in color. It’s pretty dry – the tree had been dead for a year or two – but I’ll let it sit for a bit and see what comes out of it.
