I know this isn't all that odd, but today I was trimming the massive avocado tree in the back yard, I've been stacking logs from some of the massive branches I've trimmed back for the last couple of years and today, got to wondering what some small turnings from avocado might be like. I've got tons of other trees on my property, now I'm really thinking that I ought to see what they look like turned.

So my question to everyone is what's the strangest wood you've put on your lathe and how did it turn out?
