The other day I was picking over the maple pile at the Borg (but I've found all SORTS of interesting grain just piled in with the rest from time to time)
Anyway, this HD wasn't carrying maple *mutters* but they DID have some
1/4" thick slices of a pale, straight-grained wood labeled "Cypress."
Has anyone worked with it, what's it good for, how does it look finished, whatever?
To me it looked and felt like hobby shop basswood, but it was a smidgeon paler.
