cheese boards Explanation: (see discussion) vintage boards for ripening/maturing cheese [Well actually, if you wanna make a buck: you'd better trade in cheese boards than in cheese; they're pretty hard to come by ;-) ] |

| Reference: Info Reference information: Melodorum fruticosum http://www.exot-nutz-zier.de/Samenliste/SearchResults.aspx?C... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melodorum_fruticosum Forum The bits are from Amani in USA. A bit expensive but........ I liked them. Cheesewood aka milky pine is not blonde like other pines, it looks a bit like the lighter coloured meranti, greyish. It is very soft and does not have much structural strength but I like it for boxes. .......Cheesewood aka milky pine is not blonde like other pines,.......... That's because it isn't one.:wink: It's actually a rainforest hardwood, although not very hard. It was often sold in mixed species lots up here sold as "mixed semi-hardwoods". I think it's called "pine" because of the way the tree often grows with a straight central trunk and radiating branches. It's one of the pioneer species that grows in areas where rainforest is allowed to regenerate.
