Turning Canary wood

Julian

Can those of you that have turned canary wood tell me if it is worth using in a segmented vessel? Does the color significantly over time? Does it take a finish well? Thanks in advance.

I love Canarywood. Sometimes you'll find pieces with a really nice red mineral streaking like with this yoyo...end-grain looks like Tulipwood. Turns easy and polishes up nicely as well.

I have a supply and have turned it. As Ed mentions, sometimes it has great colors, sometimes it is more subdued. It turns cleanly and finishes nicely. It does seem to get a little darker with time and lose some contrast, as most woods.. I suspect it would be good in segmented pieces.
