    Dynamo House Melbourne

    I'm no expert on this but I asked recently at the Salamanca market. I found a bloke who used to sell it - until he discovered that it was a bit of a hoax. The smell is authentic-ish, but apparently there is no such thing, and it is eucalyptus oil or something.

    Proberly what I got, have used it mainly on rosewood frames with huon pine inserts and wedges and it came up great but After reading your post I think I
    have been had

    I know that in the early 1800's huon pine oil was produced at sarah island in Macquarie Harbour and sold mainly to German Dentists
