    No question about it Lovely stuff - I think of it as the 'Red Cedar of the Desert' - a little but harder and heavier but just as nice to work with and a similar beautiful colour. I'm finishing a little box to store my SIL's heirloom fob watch right now - 3.4mm finger joints with not a single bit of chip-out

    Emu Apple.

    We've cooked with the fruit, takes a very long time & the results are variable, if you get it right, the resulting jelly/jam/paste is good with savoury stuff like cold meat or cheese.

    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.
