AFRICAN STINKWOOD! Rare board. Old and dry
This is a single board of African Stinkwood. Its been sitting in my shed for decades so its time to go!
It measures 1520 X 150 X 30mm. It was once part of a coffee table so it has a few dings and scratches but it will clean up nicely. There are 8 small screw holes in the back where it was attached to a steel frame. See Photos.
African Stinkwood polishes up nicely - see photo of a knife handle I made, finished with Polyurethane. I wet one end of the board to give an idea of what it will look like when finished.
I'm asking $30. Pick up is in Oakleigh East.
If you want it posted, I can cut it up into 4 pieces and fit it into a 5kg post bag for $18 extra. Or you can arrange your own courier.

Any possibility this could be added to my other stash if it's not pushing the friendship?
cheers, Ian

Does this stuff actually pong?
I once made a drinks tray for Phil the Greek who was 12th man for City Tattersals cricket club.
It was in Silky oak and had a distinct aroma of dogs p.
The corgis probably loved it.

Its a long time since I cut any and I didn't think it was too bad.
Here's some info I googled," The name "stinkwood" comes from a strong smell that is released when it is fresh felled."
I also found this, "Stinkwood is considered one of the most highly prized timbers in the world. " Maybe I should have charged more for it?Cheers,
