It's also a very easy wood to carve. You guys should try it. Lake Surfer, big daddy, Grapa-RuHa, seeksurf, Benzart, Bowana, surfintiki and benella, maruru for all the good praises, very appreciated. Soon I'll post some picts of the full the Ku so you guys can see the rattan piece uncarved, and I'll add one of the tools I used to do the clean up to.
