I am in Santa Barbara on vacation for a few weeks break from New England and got to thinking about the various types of trees they have out here that I don't see back home.
Two things came to mind immediatly, Citrus (Orange, Lemon, Lime) and Avocado.
Doing a search, I find little or no reference to turning these woods.
When I was down at the Farmers Market yesterday, I saw that someone is selling Avocado logs for firewood. The logs she had appeared to have nice grain and color.
Would it be worth my time to try and get my paws on some fairly fresh Orange or Avocado wood and ship it home to try and turn it into pens or bowls or other small things?
I also noticed that the Oak and Maple trees out here seem very different from the ones back home. I wonder if the wood looks much different when turned.

] I have a Clementine Orange trunk I picked up last summer in San Antonio, but I haven't done anything with it yet.
