I wish I had a garden with a lychee tree to fell!

Very nice indeed, never seen this stuff before The old woodworkers adage that every fruit and nutwood tree provides excellent timber gets reaffirmed when you see stuff like this. Looks like a cross between the grain of Vic Ash and the colour of Mahog.
