I have been very impressed
with this wood for my tops.
Its grain is very tight it is
increadbly stiff and and
seems very resistiand to
cracking. LMI says that it
holds it shape with hudmity
changes which I have
verified. (My shop is less
than 30% humidity most of
the year and wood does not
move with aclimation to my
shop!) "It rings like the over
used term a bell".
