RIC_FACTORY should experiment with attempting to grow Santa Ana Rosewood.

That would be cool but Orange County land is a bit pricey for a tree farm I think.

I have 50 acres in Pennsylvania we could experiment with.
Of course, I'd have to cut down all the hard maple, black cherry, walnut and hickory first.

PA is way too cold for rosewood. You need to be in zone 10 at least.

Okay, sounds like a plan. I'm sure you have some use for all that cut down wood planned already, right?

And Southern Cal is too dry.
Just joking anyway.

email The Halls and ask if that hard maple qualifies.

This should be very comparable ( exactly the same) to the maple they use.

Don't you want to make all those butcher block countertops and island for your kitchen?

No, I have a stash of curly maple for that.

Like the two stashes I have (flat and rift sawn red oak, and quarter sawn white oak)?
