Australian Lacewood?

[XMit]

Did a search and came up with nothing. Supposed to be a good turning wood. Anyone ever use it? It looks like it would finish awfully pretty. I would post a pic but I don't know how to do anything but cut/paste.

I use it once in awhile. It's good if you want a very lite cue. The wood has layers of rays and the color of pumpkins and in fact that's what I always call it "Pumkin Wood". It looks pretty good if you doctor it up. After the cue is sanded you can take epoxy and mix with colored dye such as red or black or whatever and seal the cue all up with it. When dry sand it back off the surface and it stays in the layers and makes for a very unusual cue that realy stands out.
