Golden Raintrees

[Paul Andrews]

Has anyone tried turning this wood? If so what is your opinion of it and do you have any photos of finished pieces?

[Barry Elder]

We had to have a tree removed from the local Botanical Garden so I cut a few pieces. The rough-outs I did moved like the ocean! Put one in DeNatured Alcohol but it still moved and split in three pieces. Must have made it upset when I cut it! Finished two pieces satisfactorily but don't have any pictures. However, the warp that was in the last bowl when I rechucked it is still there in the finished bowl.
