I remember my trips to the Phillipenes, in my earlier days, everything you saw was made out of monkey pod. I still have a few items that I picked up while there. That should make a really nice dinning table. |

I have a huge collection of monkeypod wood serving platters, dishes, small square bowls, etc I inherited from my folks. They got them in Hawaii when I was a kid. -- Larry "Work like a Captain but Play like a Pirate!" |

I like monkey pod. I have used it on several guitar fretboards and it is also the accent wood in the bedroom set I am working on. I approve of the choice. -- Brian T. - Exact science is not an exact science |
