Anybody here has turned Persimmon? Or has some, could get some?

I have just seen a small bowl turned out of it on another forum, very striking colour pattern.

It looked much like this Korean persimmon.

Hi hughie,
I have never seen let alone turned any but having said that I have never turned a fruit tree I didn't likehttp://d1r5wj36adg1sk.cloudfront.net/images/smilies/standard/biggrin.gif usually nice tight grain that holds good detail. Let us all know how you get on.
Regards Rod

Persimmon belongs to the same family as Queensland ebony, one of the diospyrus family.
