I love this wood..... in the old days they used this wood for ball bearings because it was so hard and self oiling.... illegal to cut but if you ever get some I'm a buyer.

It may not scratch a diamond but I would give it a try....

Here is an update.
I have finished the bulk of the work, just need to bolt it on and see if it works.
