G'day
This morning I was out doing my usual dogwalking when I noticed a dump bin down a street a bit off my usual rout that I thought I had better investigate . No wood in it, but next to it was a pile of camelia . I have only ever got a small amount of this previously and it is a joy to turn . I think it is probably as good as cotonyaster , a dense timber with a tight straight grain and takes a beautifull thread .I estimate there would be about 200Kg in this lot and up to about 150mm diam. ,a lot of potential boxes in this haul. I spent the rest of the day cutting it up and endgrain sealing .
