Have any of you ever turned carrotwood? I was in Largo, Florida last
weekend watching Bill Grumbine do a demo and he was turning some. I
had never heard of it before but have found that it is a native of
Australia and is considered an invasive species. Bill said that it
turned quite nicely.

It is nice. I just posted a picture on abpw of a carrotwood bowl I turned
about 6 months ago.
It doesn't even look like wood - I can't find a normal grain line anywhere
on it. I sometimes wonder if it
was actually a piece of burl and that I am to new to recognize it.
