[Woodcarver]Vietnam wood?

[Joe Dillett]

You said: "They are a light wood?" .....  Light in color or light in weight?

Teak is a dark heavy wood about like our blackwalnut. I'm thinking Jelutong
might be what you're looking at if it is a light color and light weight.
Jelutong, the rubber tree, has a nice tight grain, machines well, takes a
stain and finishes well.

  Happy Holidays to all you great list members.  May you all have a
partridge in a pear tree, and a big piece of basswood leaning against your
door on Christmas morning.
