I haven't, but if you send me a piece about 4' long and 14" in diameter I'll give you a full report.

Ha ha ha.... you da man, G!! If it would fit in my suitcase......

Yes, ohia is nice. Carve it up!

Here's an article about a carver and some Ohia kii

Thanks, AT! That was a nice article. I'll try and get my hands on as much as I can bring back home.
