|  Roger . I understand the monkey tree is a speceies of African Mahogany and therefore I doubt if it has cones but do not know if it bears any nuts or pods big enough or suitable enough for turnings . Monkey tree phenomenon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia On the other hand, If it does and somebody wants to send me some , I will turn practically anything that it is possibe to turn. The growths on that mahogany tree that can sometimes resemble a monkey are probably burls and if so , I have never found a burl I didn't like and would be interested in seeing a cross section of one. . Burls usually contain some awesome highly figured wood patterns. W.Y. |

| I'll make an inquiry Mon. at our local nursary . They are supposed to have a tree hidden somewhere . It may be the wrong time of year to collect them . I have a question re the Jet lathe . Was there a weak component to the jet that needed to be modified ? I'm getting this second hand and pretty vague , other than the jet had a weak link . Roger |

There is one of the bigger models of Jet between the mini size ones and the full size ones that use a Reeves drive system with sliding pulleys for VS. That has been a problem on some and they eat up belts. Other than that Jet is recognized as one of the best lathes on the market for the money. W.Y. | |
