>Very nice coloured wood with excellent grain. At least the stuff I have. Most times the grain is pretty straight.

It has a golden brown hue to the wood.

Turning dry isn't much fun as it has very fine yellow dust. Something like turning dry black walnut. I would recommend some type of dust collection at all times not just sanding.

I will post a picture after the weekend of the flat bottomed dish I turned.
