anyone ever worked with

[blame]

 

the above pic is of staghorn sumac i've turned some fresh to dry it for a pen but lost the pcs before i could finish it i'd love to find some more the generic picture doesnt do the bush justice. what i had was much brighter green and had more dark brown streaks to it

 

the bark is very hard but the wood it self is kinda soft very porous. once i got thru the bark the piece was a dream to cut

I've never worked with any of this, but I'd love to because of the distinguished wood grain. I absolutely love wood grain that stands out that much. I just get lost in the grain of wood at times. I love to see it. I love to feel it. I'm weird though. My wife says I love like I'm about to orgasm (I hope I don't get in trouble for that word) just from rubbing saw dust between my fingers. I'm sorry, back on track. That is some beautiful wood.
