    Default Red Box

    Might be able to get my hands on some red box live edge slabs at approx 25% moisture content

    What is red box timber like? (would be cool to make table out of it) - is it good furniture grade timber?
    How long until it dries to a usable MC?
    Anything else I should know?

    Yes, just like Red Gum only a lot harder

    How long until it dries to a usable MC?
    In Melb I would wait until 8-10%

    Anything else I should know?
    Sharpen the tools, they are going to take a beating
