I got a few offcuts from a timber merchant / cabinet maker that I might turn into platters. It's not overly well air-dried - apparently is was quite wet when put over the buzzer. It also seems quite heavy.
One of my wood ID books says that its good for cabinet making / furniture, but it doesn't mention turning.
Has anyone out there got any glowing (or other) reports? Dust is mentioned as a hazard but it appears food-safe.
I was thinking of rough turning it, then letting it dry for a while. At $28 per metre, it doesn't seem overly expensive.
