In South Africa you will probably have more choices. The EC wood market is
a good bit different that here in the US.

You need a wood that is clear strait grained, light, reasonably rot
resistant, with good bending strength and crush resistance. The problem
with most tropical hardwoods is the weight. You really want to stay under
500kg/M3.



Hi Glenn,

Yes, there are a number of good candidates here - your wise point re
weights is certainly true - lovely wood but really heavy! Some
interesting Cedar variants that are looking promising.

Thanks
