past the bench, through the roller door, past the mop top tree and smack into the back fence - only about 8m!

no fly zone
I've done another cut perpendicular to the tangent of the growth ring.
It took me a little longer than expected as I imposed a 'no fly zone' in my shed on large hunks of timber (flying from the saw blade).
my offsider in the last pic giving his professional opinion!

no fly zone imposed in shed - no more flying pieces of wood - very careful with this cut. pics show the mottled growth ring.

That's a shorea for sure, of which meranti is one. But I don't know if it is meranti or another type. But if the general consensus is that it is meranti/PM, I'm happy to call it that too.
Cheers
Michael
