If it is too "rock-like" the shop will not take it. Gene Beal and I had a very though time with some "original...genuine" lignum vitae but Gene purchased a huge ban saw from Italy (4.5 H.P. motor!!) and it got the job done. If you want to send it to Gene or myself we'll give it a try.
Hope this helps, Capt. Chris
