    I will be selling some of them soon. They are pretty dry. I sealed the ends with wax already so hopefully splitting will be minimal.

    I see box lids, veneered, or the turner in me sees a very decadent shallow bowl

    Finished planing up the blocks from the weekend. This one is approx. 390mm x 70mm x 140mm to give an idea of size, one of the smaller ones and my fave.

    Jealous mate! Just flaming jealous, is all I can say. Only hope you don't have every blimmen greenie in the state on the warpath to hang,draw and quarter you for cutting up a nice bit of wood.
    Been down here in Tas since about 87 and woodworking most of that time. Tiger myrtle is the one wood that I have never had in my workshop. Had lots of burl myrtle but the tiger grain is by far the rarest.
    Thanks for sharing.
