One of our customers brought in this hour glass that he made with wood that he purchased from us. He used both Blood wood and Quebracho. He informed me that the Quebracho is called "Axe Breaker" in Bolivia. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebracho )He also informed me that while he was turning this on the lathe it flung off and hit him in the face. (Always wear a face shield.) He is fine but he is glad it is not called "Face Breaker"!
