    I have a couple Easy Wood tools from back when they first appeared. I haven't used either in 10 years. FWIW the EW factory is a mile or so from my house.

    It can be pretty but I can't be in the same room with it. I react to it more than walnut. I avoid both.

    It turns very nicely. I've turned both multiaxis plates and bowls. Grain figure is not dramatic. It readily spalts, with highly varied but often beautiful results.
