Hi Dick

The Carrot tree wood question has come up once or twice before that I
remember, there is a little info and a picture of a small bowl in the
turning archive of Wood Central, if you go there, put in "carrot" as
the seed word and you will get there.

There are 2 species of carrot trees, one comes from Australia and
neighboring New Guinea, and one from South Africa, where it is aka
Geel Wortel Boom, literally translated (Yellow Root Tree) both are
fairly small trees, that's all I have on info, and btw it is an
invasive species in Florida.

Have fun and take care

Have any of you ever turned carrotwood? I was in Largo, Florida last
weekend watching Bill Grumbine do a demo and he was turning some. I
had never heard of it before but have found that it is a native of
Australia and is considered an invasive species. Bill said that it
turned quite nicely.
