I went ahead with the Red Grandis for the patio furniture and wanted to give some feedback for anyone interested in using it in the future. ?It is a pleasant wood to work with as it machines well and cleanly. ?There was quite a difference in character between the boards with some being much deeper color with a corresponding increase in density. It absorbs finish well and to my mind is quite attractive. ?I put on some plastic feet to keep it off the ground. ?Here is a pic so you can see how it came out. ?I will update after a while to review its durability.
