I have a friend that restores antique furniture for a living.
He says the nicest wood to work with is Cederwood. Sad part is you cannot buy it anywhere
and they used 1700 Cederwoodpoles/trees for the phoneline between Clanwilliam and Calvinia!!!
Cedertrees are slow growers and today very scarce in the Cederberg.
Me my favourite is Rooipitjie.............................................I burn a lot of it!!
