I wonder how peach turns? We've got a decorative peach tree that has
reached end-of-life and will probably have to be removed this fall.


Peach, and other fruit woods, generally turn very well BUT have a lot of movement when
drying and a strong tendency to crack when drying. If the tree is coming down anyway,
there's no reason to NOT work with the wood. You might have to try a few pieces, but
nothing ventured, nothing gained.


Thanks for the info!


No problem...Have fun!
