Burn the beech, fish the plastic.
Sounds like you.
It is very similar to maple. My sample size is limited but I'd say it felt like it fell in between soft and hard maple (which is a good place to be) and the body I turned weighed a bit less than a similar body turned from a heavy birch blank.

Skip, thanks for the offer. I might take you up at some point for needles but most what I need now is 5/4 and 6/4.
