October has started out fruitful,

We've just milled the following:
Opume' ( a thorny relative of the tamarind,  dense with beautiful light and dark rich brownish red grain)
Coconut palm ( red variety)
Tulip wood ( beautiful white wood with lots of bee's wing figure)
Monkey pod ( everyone's favorite)
Silky Oak  ( one of my personal favorites)
Avocado ( beautiful pale creme wood with darker highlights and lots of figure)

And of course its worth noting, that all of these woods have been saved from the landfill (which in Hawaii county is comprised of 40% green waste).  We view this effort as a win win:  wood for us,  taxpayer subsidized tipping fees reduced everyone else.

Below are some photos:
