Well, after enjoying getting some sweat up hand sawing 2 blanks from the log to approximate dimensions I trimmed them to approximately 50 x 50 x 320ish on a table saw so you should be able to get 4 blanks from them. Great looking wood with the typical characteristics of Allocasuarina grain. I've been worried about them cracking and have given them a stern talking to about doing so but one has decided to misbehave and has started to crack but I don't think it'll go far the other remains solid. I've given them both 3 coats of egg shell blue acrylic paint so they look a tad bazaar, consider this like the wrapping of a present to which I think you'll enjoy getting. Now I hope that they handle the climate change they're about to endure. Posting tomorrow, good luck with them

Hi Funky
Well I went up the slope today and harvested a bit of Rose Sheoak for us.
Definitely Allocasuarina littoralis, and although only small section it has great colour and figure. I can post you the lump in the photo if you like. It's absolutely green, of course. Alternatively, we could meet up at TWW in 8 weeks. I can bring you more of this and some more black sheoak if you wanted it.Brian
