It's a nice pink/brown wood but it's bloody hard as hell, to both cut and work

Think it's quite good for turning

Turning mainly I did a site clearance months ago and it was full of hawthorne a farmer coe past and took the lot as he said he carves things from it.

great for turning but usualy splits too badly for larger items but it's good for chisel handles or wooden mallets or anything that needs to be hard wearing.

 

turn it very thin when wet and let it dry out for a brilliant effect.
