thanks Hognutz!

I really like the crushing strength hardness & shrinkage this wood has...

Average Dried Weight: 38 lbs/ft3 (600 kg/m3)
Specific Gravity (Basic, 12% MC): .48, .60
Janka Hardness: 900 lbf (4,010 N)
Modulus of Rupture: 9,530 lbf/in2 (65.7 MPa)
Elastic Modulus: 1,149,000 lbf/in2 (7.92 GPa)
Crushing Strength: 5,790 lbf/in2 (39.9 MPa)
Shrinkage: Radial: 2.0%, Tangential: 3.4%, Volumetric: 6.0%, T/R Ratio: 1.7

LOL! I would be more worried about the measurement containing the word "Rupture".

I believe "Monkeywood" is actually Granadilla

I rupture my modulus at least twice a week.. when I was younger, it was more often
