Hello friends,
in a hardware store near home they are selling palo maria (Calophyllum brasiliense) for flooring. I touched the wood and I liked it, it's moderate hard and heavy it seems quite resistant and grows straight without knots, its density is about 660 kg/m3, that would be sg about 0'66 . I can buy enough wood for 3-4 bows for $20. I'm sick of very hard hardwoods like ipe, massaranduba or bangkirai, I would like to try something softer. Have anyone used this for bowmaking (or something else) or know this wood?
Thanks in Advance
Sergi
