They cut down the tree, because of its connection to their poor behaviour. It wasn't all that young a tree, and now it's gone. It was OT, and I should probably have thought about it more carefully before pressing the 'POST' button. Should probably be taken out. Douglas

Funny you should mention Ipe. I finished the switchbox I had
mentioned in the group build forum a while back -- just cleaning
up the exterior before doing the writeup (over-dignified term
for such a simple device) to post. It's in an AL box and
very light, so I have been fixing up a little plank of ipe
to give it some heft. Chamfered the edges very well with a
router. Skip

Have you thought about sneaking aboard the Constitution some night with a prybar dressed in Indian clothes? It is in Boston Harbor, after all.

Live Oak is indeed a White Oak, but it is not harder than the true northern White Oak. I have sold hardwood lumber for over 10 years and never heard a claim like this and I live in Texas. It is not a commercially logged tree, more than anything due to its growth habits, more than its being protected. It is not an Oak that is desirable vs the northern White Oak. I have seen it from small sawyers, but it is a gnarly wood that is not as stable as its northern cousins
