Morning, Rob
Much like Paulonia then. Actually, Paulonia was once widespread in the US but that was denuded for charcoal production too. Paulonia is used for surfboards and very fine furniture. If somebody has a big Albezia, I'll give it a try. I've not ever messed with it. It might be very very good for composite laminate boat construction, if treated. I'm going to start my latest boat project in the fall, and if I can build the whole thing out of "weed trees" I'd love to.
