My Uncle has one up at the farm, next time I go up, I'll take some pics. Can't remember what size it is but it wasn't very big.

Been a while but just remembered this thread and I did take some pics for you when I picked up those Redgum branches (http://www.woodworkforums.com/showthread.php?t=73446) about a month ago.

Had forgotten to attach them to this thread at the time :doh:
