This wood is hard and heavy but turns well and will take a fine polish. This member of the cashew family produces stunning turned pieces because of contrasting nature of its stripes.

Jobillo
Really nice piece of stock. I cut some for Bottle Stoppers and then made the rest into Pen blanks. Very ecconomical when you do it that way.
