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. Milky Pine Alstonia scholaris Milky Pine Cerbera floribunda Milky Pine Cerbera inflata Milkwood Alstonia actinophylla Milkwood Alstonia scholaris Milkwood Excoecaria dallachyana Cheesewood Nauclea orientalis Cheesewood Pittosporum bicolor Cheesewood Sarcocephalus cordatus Cheesewood Xanthophyllum octandrum I bet it is actually Northern Milkwood, Alstonia actinophylla. :wink: http://www.woodworkforums.com/archive/index.php/t-78951.html |
