Can anyone tell me of a good replacement for Jelutong, a rainforest 
timber which has a very fine grain, is soft enough to shape readily using 
hand tools, and undergos very little thermal expansion. It is used in 
making vacuum forming moulds etc. There must be an alternative to this 
timber somewhere.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Chris
