(Michael*Faurot) doth burble:
snip Because Walnut, Cherry, Oak, is so readily available, it's almost
like osmosis to become familiar with them. You see them all the time--so
it's easy to pick up information about them. With these other types of
woods, because they aren't as readily available to me, I haven't learned
much of anything about them. snip

That's because you didn't try. You'e on the web! Remember? You
can find out about almost any wod thee is, in minutes. You 'have' heard
of google, right? So google sycamore, pink ivory, or whatever wood
you're curious about, and find links that'll tell you all about it.
Might want to check out wood toxicity while you're at it. Or, you could
just type in something like North American woods.
