WA Timbers for Black Palm
Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen
Whilst perusing another thread, I noticed some Black Palm on offer. Whilst it is unlikely I will be able to grab some of that Black Palm, I remembered this forum.
So, does anyone have any Black Palm, suitable for pen blacks they are will to swap (for far superior WA Timbers or burls) or sell?
Cheers
Willy

Hi Willy
I cut a palm tree down last week - which I thought was a bangalow palm. It looked to have a band of dark vascular bundles around the outside so I hacked the palm a bit more to see if it might be suitable for your purposes. It look to be black palm wood, not a necessarily a Black Palm.
If it looks suitable let me know and I'll send some. Let me know the preferred dimensions.

Hello Mate
Not sure? If you don't mind, chop it up to blanks aprox 150mm long. Let them dry and we can save money on freight. Also, if it dries and is no good, we have lost anything.
Wotchafink?

Willy,
Sounds like a plan - I'll let you know how I go, and when it's cut and dried.

Unfortunately there are a lot of palms that look like black palm, bangalow/foxtail/fishtail to name a few with many sellers not knowing what they have either, so we must trust those selling the stuff. There are also different Black Palms throughout the world, Borassus flabellifer and Normanbya normanbyi for example, then different trees of the same species can also vary
