Zibrano, Myrrh and Tas Myrtle.
Hi all,
Just came back from a trip to Melbourne with some Zibrano, Tas Myrtle and Myrrh (dealer called it myrrhwood). Want to know of other peoples experiences with same. I intend to turn S&P Grinders from it. Any known problems with toxicity etc. Not the dust (I'll be avoiding that anyway, from the experiences that I've just had with Oak!), more for the use of said timbers in food applications like S&P Mills. Also, does anyone know what the hell Myrrhwood is? searches on the net come up with Commiphora myrrha which is a shrub native to africa. Don't know if this is what I have or not. Descriptions would help. Thanks,
DanIs there anything easier done than said?- Stacky. The bottom pub, Cobram.

I have used zebrano before, firstly to make a guitar and the leftover bit I turned into a small bowl.
It has pretty interlocked grain but is not too hard and finishes up really well. Especially if you oil it (it glows) but that would probably not be too good in a salt and pepper shaker.
Watch out for the smell tho it STINKS!!!
Have fun
Darryn
