So I was in the local Woodcraft here in Houston the other day and they're pushing this hybrid tropical hard wood called Lyptus. Apparently it's a naturally occurring hybrid of a couple of different species of eucalyptus, hence the name. It was developed as an ecologically "friendly" substitute for mahogany, which I think it resembles.
So my question is - does anyone have any experience with this stuff. I'm thinking of trying it for some stuff, but am looking for other opinions on it.
By the way, if anyone wants to give it a shot, it's probably worthwhile to find the local Weyerhaeuser rep and find out who distributes it in your area. Evidently, they import if from Brazil in some sort of exclusive arrangement.
