Is a great wood,but alas true lignum is now banned from importation in the U.S.What is in the states now is the last of it,and there is not much left to be had.I know of an entire 300 lb lignum officinale log that is a few miles from me,is well seasoned as it is at least 150 yrs old.
was once a strut for a bridge in placerville Ca.Try as I might,I cannot get the old codger to part with it maybe down the road.
