Red Grandis

Has anyone worked with Red Grandis? Interested in know how easy it works. It looks like mahogany but very affordable. Looking to build a 4 feet tall cross for church.

Ironic, Just reading about Red Grandis in the current Woodcraft magazine.

I picked some up to mess with from the Hardwoodstore. I used it to make small stave containers. Kinda felt like working with poplar It wasnt as dense to work with as sapelle but too red for my tastes so haven't done much with it. Pretty much a blah grain like poplar too. The amount of stock at the Hardwoodstore for me was hit or miss which means people like it enough to buy decent quantities of it.
