I just got a boat load of Limba hardwood. My Aunt's grand daughters father in law bought it and died so they wanted to get rid of it. I have no idea what he was going to do with it but as I have studied the wood, it is for east Africa and normaly used to make musical instruments. I have as much 8/4 as 4/4 rough wood and wonder if anyone out there has ever worked with this wood. I haven't begun to think of what I will build with this wood but have heard that it has silica in it. Any reason that the sawdust could be bad to the lungs? Thanks for any recommendations. Ron

About a week ago I had a friend tip me off about a barn full of lumber that a lady wanted to unload. Long story short, I bought about 800 - 1000 BF of ash, walnut, maple, cedar and quarter sawn white oak. There were several walnut 8/4 and 12/4 boards 12 foot long that are going to make some fine, fine challenge coin displays. Here's a picture of two van loads of walnut and maple. I unloaded about 100 BF of white oak into my barn and I figure there's about 200 bf of walnut in this pile. A big shout out to my BIL who has a nice big pole barn to store everything I can't handle. The picture is a bit deceiving because I throw a sheet of black plastic over the pile so you're really only seeing half the length.
