Lychee slabs
Hi Folks,
Dusted off the Stihl 090 and gave her a workout on a Lychee log that I acquired from my neighbour.
Found the timber to be quite dense but has some beautiful grain and colours when freshly cut.
Cheers,
Nev

If you think it's dense now, wait until it dries out. I had a heap of it but ended up using it for the camp oven, it was just too hard to turn.

Yes, I heard also that a woodturning demonstrator had trouble turning this timber. Was thinking more of using it in furniture of some kind.
Looks like I got my work cut out for me.....
