[Woodcarver] lilac

[David Yanciw]

The lilac that I carved was extremely hard - probably better for turning 
- polishes nicely though.  It has a variety of colors in it and a 
perfume-y smell to it when carved.  I used one piece as a handle for a 
homemade adz - that will give you some indication of the hardness of the 
wood.
