I'm a crafter by heart - have build furniture in the past , here are some grandkids initialed cell phone holders made out of 1" & 1/4" Brazilian cherry . It's a real hard wood to be cutting on a Scrollsaw but it's beautiful when finished . It's long story how I acquired it , have a ton scrapes from3' to 5' pieces - but it's great for a crafter like me ! Any comments are welcomed .......
