re: Christmas boxes
Rick, Angelina was what the dealer called it. Case Woodworking in Savannah.
Angelina is a common name for Andira (Andira Inernis) other common names are Andin, Angelim, macaya, maquilla, partridge wood, pheasantwood, and red cabbage bark. It comes from West Indies and S. America. Is often a Mahogany substitute.
I had never used it and saw it when shopping for something else at Case's Woodworking and like usual something different attracted my attention, Easy to work with, medium hard, coarse texture.
Case is my go to for the good stuff. An hour from me. Many of my more elaborate attempts the wood came from Case in the last 10 years.
Thanks for the comments.
