A co-worker of mine put in a 'Tigerwood' deck (http://tigerdeck.com/technical-data/), which is a commercial brand name referring to Astronium wood. Apparently it's from cashew trees (?) and very dense.
Regardless, when he had his deck put in he ordered extra boards and wants me to make some outdoor furniture made out of the stuff. I'm looking for any insights folks might have on what it's like to work with. Currently I haven't even seen it, other than in pictures.
