I went in this morning and asked Alexa to play "oldies". She said "The play list 70's music coming up". I muttered "That ain't oldies". She muttered back "OK boomer" .
In the late 50's /early 60's the Forest Products Labs was working on several research projects. One group created "Impreg", wood impregnated with some goo or other to strengthen and stabilize it. "Compreg" was another, compression and impregnation. The results were impressive, never seen either make it to market. There have been numerous others through the years, the silica impregnated fireproof stable wood, etc Hope for the best but price pressure is brutal. I imagine this is also more fire retardent at that high density. Like many dense jungle woods, probably need to predrill fasteners.
I imagine the teacup is check prone in that orientation, but really any orientation that uses the whole diameter of the stick. I guess basically it holds true, if the heart is in it, its probably a high risk stick.
