Shooting and Wood turning
Ladies and Gentlemen
Just returned from another fabulous weekend away shooting, hunting, 4 WD, motorbikes and my 17 year old son and a couple of mates.
Whilst everyone else was sleeping, I headed out for a Burl Hunt on my trusty steed. I have just been access to 5 properties in WA totalling nearing 20,000 acres. I haven't discussed harvesting of burls with the farmer yet, but found these enticing specimans.
The tree, well truth be known, it is more burl than tree, possibly Wandoo.
The second burl is approximately 1 meter across, not sure what the tree is until I get permission and cut him with chopper
Sincerely
Willy

Saw in another post that the like button is coming back but it was missed in a recent upgrade pack or something like that

A lot of pen blank swaps there Willy good find but you may need more than the trusty steed to take them away.

Sounds like a fun time Willy. Let me know if you need a hand chainsaw wise etc.
Our loft/attic floor is wandoo.
I bought it as a salvaged floor pack for $200 - it looked like it came out of a classroom
As Willy says hard as %&$^%*& - every nail hole had to be drilled.

At $200 for that lot you should have no skin left on your fingers!

Well it was no "beer and skittles" job.
The pack needed to be denailed which was a mongrel of a job and I ended up splitting way too may board in the process.
Later I found out about the cheats way, big punch and knock em through instead of straightening the nail and knocking them back the other way. The split the hole our way more than knocking them through.
Then there was the drill and nail part, and then I hauled a floor sander up the manhole and that was a fun job since the day I decided to do it the max temp reached over 38ºC and it was quite a bit hotter in the roof.
There are still sweat drops visible under the polyurethane finish.
