Run a search for "bradford". It has been discussed pretty recently. I know you'll be able to find it! :D

Crap in tension due to ultra-short fibers, might be good in compression, is hard and fine-grained, when stained black is a substitute for ebony. I'd like to see a sinew backed bradford pear someday.
