Blackwood tree decided to lie down.
500 mm diam perhaps. Fairly tall. Not quite big enough to slab, but would make good large bowls. Still needs cutting up. Anyone want some? And would like to come and help cut it up? :cute: In Belgrave.

I would love to come over and bring my chainsaw and help you out , Anne-marie.
I got sick of sitting around doing nothing - so I took up meditation.

That would be great. The tree is fallen into the next door neighbour's back yard. Not sure if we can drive to the tree, but at least it is surrounded by lawn rather than scrub like it would be if it fell in my yard.
Will measure tomorrow, but I thinnk the trunk is straight for about 6 feet before a branch. Straight again above it too, but narrower of course. Small stuff can be left for fire wood for the neighbours.anne-maria.

SAFETY MESSAGE
Hi,
As I understand it, Acacia sawdust has microscopic hooks on the fibers, similar to ASBESTOS, and has the same effect on the lungs as asbestos. It would be a very good idea to wear dust masks when working with this timber.
This might not be a huge issue when cutting with a Chain Saw, but when you are finishing you project with sand paper, I believe it is.
beautiful timber though, I have done a couple of projects with Tasmanian Blackwood. Love it
SteveThe fact remains, that 97% of all statistics are made up, yet 87% of the population think they are real.

I'm in Mooroolbark and would love to help and grab a couple of blanks, only trouble is I'm heading to FNQ for two weeks to get away from the Melbourne Chills. Life's tough but someone has to do it.
