Roughly 200 board feet of Tasmanian Blackwood… got it this week from Trevor… he was having a bit of a clear out… so I got it for a very good price…
There was also some African Mahogany, Melaluca, celery top pine and myrtle…
Will post more pics when I unload … and dress a few boards to see how the grain and colour is…

Very nice. How well does this species of wood machine and respond to hand tools. I’ve never encountered it before.
(I do have some old Tasmanian postage stamps with Queen Victoria’s pic on them….)

I know that you are Australian, but you deserve a good old American “you suck” for this. I am totally envious of the wood you have available. Great find sir.

A pile o’ firewood if you ask me, for a modest fee, I will gladly take it off your hands..

I’m happy for your good luck getting this Larry, but a little envious too, so your gloat is working!
