anyone work with black palm wood?

[prewarhero]

If so, do tell. How would you describe working with it, is it expensive and how does it hit?
Thanks

It's cheap heavy and has interesting grain. Makes an interesting cue. I would recommend coring.

Works soooo much better when its stabilized.... Less splinters, fraying....:thumbup:

Yes splinters. Ouch! Other bad words then follow.

I like it when its cut on an angle. Great look to it....... IMO

Can you say flying tooth picks, nothing like getting stuck in the belly over and over

A very sharp tool steel cutter will cut it like butter. Without splinters!

Love it but wear a thick apron or suffer! Reminds me of fiberglass.

not expensive, plays great, pain to work

i have a cover over my lathe, so turning is no problem, but sanding is splinter hell.
