I do have one more question in relation to Blackwood. On this site Wongo was building a TAS Blackwood chest of draws and the grain flows looks different with not as many colours. From where was this Blackwood harvested?

If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

This was harvested on the sunshine coast near Beerwah.....an area rich in Blackwood Originally Posted by Christos

I can't stand it. For the life of me, I just can't stop coming back to this thread, and if you keep posting pics, I'll have to make this my home page
No, seriously, a great looking piece of timber. I am as jealous as hell. Is it cut for someone or just for stock?
