Default Anyone carve China Berry?
I ran across a number of limbs of China Berry that a neighbor had cut and piled on the street. Some of the pieces looked like they would make nice canes and some thicker - trunk wood looked like it might be good for sculpture work. Anyone worked with this wood before?

Yes - I have a cane picture in the galleries somewhere but I don't know where to tell you to look for it. It carves very well but a little brittle. Takes good detail and burns very well.

Thanks for the info Kelley. Glad to know it burns well as the fire is where some of my work winds up :-)
