	Hard, smelly when cut, but very nice when finished.  I've only
used quarter-sawn, wide boards (14-15 inches, not common).  Go for the
QS if you can find it.  Not oily, glues well, but tended to be a
little brittle around the edges.  Take it slow and even.

	My wife and I miss those boards (a friend got the ones we
didn't).  She made a nice humidor using the syc and some bloodwood
inlays she made herself.  I liked it so much, I won't let her get rid
of it; and neither of us has ever smoked!

	Have fun with it.

Sycamore has its place in woodworking and is used in the industry.  I
have no idea about cost.  sorry
