Today I turned some Maca wood, this stuff is supposed to be about the third or fourth hardest wood known, I found a turning site in OZ that had some information on it,
Some call it Queensland Iron wood, or Amazon Rosewood and another name was Red Ebony, What ever it's called, it’s HARD..
It's a beautiful wood, sort of has a Cinnamon smell when cutting it.
I cut about 8 pieces on a bias and there are two chatoyant bands on each barrel.
I coated it with BLO, and wondered if I should let it dry for a couple days before I put on the CA
