Brazilian Cherry??
« on: December 22, 2013, 08:36:00 PM »
anyone know anything about it?
I had several boards given to me, it is the heaviest wood I have found, light red, not color difference in the grain.
seems like it would be good riser wood,
anyone ever use it?

I've used it with great results.  Built a longbow using it as part of my riiser.
