Persimmon Wood

[rwc565]

Being from Oklahoma and living in the country I have a large stand of Persimmon trees on my land. Has anybody ever used persimmon? I know that the fruit that they produce is bitter. I also have an abundant supply of sand plum trees. Any info on using these two woods would be appreciated.
