Vera Wood, Bulnesia sarmienti, does any one have experience with the stuff?

Rob…
Vera Wood is a very dense hardwood from South America. It would be very difficult (read: not impossible) to make a plane from. At the very least, it would be very durable. If all does not go well, it burns very well and gives off a very pleasant aroma. Good luck.

I was thinking about trying to make a plane out if it with out cutting it into pieces. I really like the weight of the piece. The stuff must be dense. I’m going to get a set of Hock blades and give it a go. There are several project ahead of it.

Thanks for your thoughts. I’ll save the drop to burn.
