Thread: Friodur 8/8 Spanish Point in Lignum Vitae

Thanks guys!

Shooter, I bought mine in a 1.5" x 1.5" x 6" piece from Woodcraft. The outer layers were covered with wax and the wood showed a much darker brown. As soon as I cut into it I hit the lighter color. I used a band saw to cut up the block and a smaller band saw to cut out the shape. I didn't have any problems working it with either hand or power tools.

I'm no expert, but it looks like Lignum Vitae and Ipe are different woods. The Janka hardness test gives them different ratings anyway.
