Good evening ladies and gentlemen
A friend of mine invited me to assist him to chop up a Stinky Eastern weed, or Camphor Laurel. It was pretty big by WA standards and appeared to have a bit of colour. The tree lopped had left most the timber in manageable lengths, but there was some real big trunk pieces which would require breaking down further so we could move them.
We filled both our trailers, then headed to my block to mill them further.
Wow! The colour was good, but the quilting was brilliant.
I got about 20 large blanks, around the 400-500mm size. There was also numerous smaller bowl blanks.
All now been through the bandsaw, endgrain rolled and sealed in hot candle wax. Luckily, I have just built some new timber drying racks, as all other racks are full.
Cant wait for it to dry and I can turn it
Cheers
