Re: shohin maple

This material appears to be trident maple, am I correct. If it is it would be interesting as trident in our central california field will grow from a pencil seedling to two and onehalf inches in two years. My thought is to use a very hard wood like manzinita roots. This would give you an inner core that is very hard and rot resestant, also some fantastic shapes. You have piqued my interest I will see what I can do with this Idea.
sorry for the double post
