Re: Inexpensive furniture woods

In my humble opinion, one of the nicest hardwoods is myrtlewood. It is only grown on the Pacific coast in Southern Oregon and somewhere in the Middle East... more or less. It varies from being quite blond to looking just like walnut... it's the variety of shades that makes it so beautiful and one piece of myrtlewood can have many, many shades of color in it.

It's very inexpensive. I buy all of mine at Abe Hank's, 34237 Ophir Rd, Ophir, OR 97444, 541-247-7668, although there are many other sources. I don't mean to be a commercial for him, but he is a nice guy.
