Hei Guys,
Got some jarrah that is about 14 weeks off the tree - treated with end check within hours of coming down.
Two of the blocks are about 600mm across but only about 400mm long.
Is it too early to think about cutting and rough turning, and what would be the best way to cut these in terms of maximum use out of the wood.
Also, is there any way to successfully end grain turn wood - I'd love to make a large platter with one of these blocks.
Cheers
Paul
