Last weekend was the Downes and Reader Spring clearance in Stoughton, MA.
I picked up more wood than I need, to get a few choice pieces.
($200 for 850 bf) The teak boards in the stash are worth more than my cost.
I also picked up ten 4 foot lengths of Angelim Pedra to rebuild my backyard bench.
This stuff is amazingly dense, and hard. These are excellent wear qualities but might be beyond my tool kit to cut, let alone shape.
Has anyone a suggestion on handling particularly hard wood like this?
Drill bit suggestions would be most appreciated.http://www.floormall.com/janka-rating-wood-species/angelim-pedra-species-janka-rating.php
