Hase been compared to American walnut (Juglans nigra)

Works well with both had and machine tools, but the grain
is liable to pick up during planing unless a reduced cutter
angle is used. Wood nails, screws and glues well and it
can be stained and polished to a high finish.

Medium to small movement in service.

Thanks, Charlie.

I'm going to use it as base and top trim with cherry for the box. The
grain is gorgeous.
