    Default Huon, Myrtle, Blackwood, Sassy

    Any one has any of these woods who like to swap with some American wood? Not for pen blanks though.

    Scott, I am a bowl turner, and would like to exchange blanks for whatever purpose you'd like to receive yours. I have lots of pen blank, however, my concentration is on flat wares and bottle stoppers and bowl blanks for now. As things will progress I will venture out to do my pens. Is this something you can work with. Currently I am in exchange of some timbers from other Aussie partners from different part of your country and would like to experiment with woods from other parts of the world. In return I am willing to share what I can gather locally as well as what I get form my other swap mates form USA. So, we all can have the opportunity of working with different wood species.

    It just so happens that I have had some tasmanian timbers "come my way".

    Murtle, sas, blackwood and the od bit of huon......mostly small section stuff and short boards.

    I've just unpacked some other stuff I laid down about 5 years ago.....wattly, sheoak, & Im up to my armpits in mango..again all small section stuff, except for the mango

    send me a Pm if interested.

    cheers

    Most powertools have sharp teeth.
    People are made of meat.
    Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.

    Um... for shipping overseas or comming back , wood needs to be dry.

    Basiclay, free from insects or signs of, free mould or fungas, dry, sawn or machines on all faces.

    cheers

    Would it make it easier if I paid the shipping from here and you pay yours from my side? After all it's the spirit of sharing the joy of turning with different wood with a fellow turner. If anyone is bothered with the cost then I understand. Just like when you give a gift to some one the price is what you feel is right to spend for that person.

    Lets not confuse the matter.

    There are clear requirements ( at least on this end) for wood to be imported.

    Costs of shipping is anothe issue.
