I'm in Bundanoon, have chainsaw and ute, would be happy to come and cut some up from the source (rather than rat your stocks), and could help out if someone else wants to pick some up too?
I'll PM you - thanks for the offer !

Philly yep all from your place
I got to thinking if you cut some lengths at 1m they'd be ideal for making walking sticks what you reckon Hughie?

That could be interesting - green turned walking sticks!! If you didn't have a problem with your legs before using a stick, you sure would after!!!!

Hi Phil,
Can't believe it's been so hard to give away such beautiful timber. I was talking to Hughie just yesterday. Unfortunately I'm not quite up to driving that far since my shoulder surgery. all the best mate and hope to catch up again in the near future. How is the house going?

Hey Paul, great to hear from you and all the best with the shoulder. Must be a woodturner thing: DaiSensei dropped in a while back, his shoulder was stuffed and I've been in for MRI's on mine - which is stuffed! My Physio strongly recommended taking a break every 15 to 20 mins from turning to do some stretching exercises to prevent muscle/nerve strain. We moved into the new place a few weeks back - now into a huge landscaping project. Ref the Blackwood, no stress there. Agreed its a beautiful looking timber but it needs to be handled with caution as it can cause health issues. I always warn folk to be careful and certainly don't force it on anyone!! Looking forward to catching up. Cheers Phil

Hi Phil, I have been away and offline for a week so sorry hadn't replied regarding your IM. I am still interested in the blackwood but see Jonnydubbs has also expressed interest. I'll give the owners a call tomorrow to see if it has all been claimed yet or not. If I haven't already missed out and it is a full ute load then it is probably more than I really want and it would be good to share it with anyone else interested.

I think I've worked out why interest is slow. Its winter Kangaroo Valley has the reputation of being as cold as Smiggin Holes now if these fellows were wise there is the beaut pie shop, pub and other places to warm up after or before getting a load of blackwood. I won't mention hauling trailer loads up the hill back to Mittagong
