    Default Geijera parviflora, Wilga, Australian Willow

    Had to get one pushed over and pushed out of the way so we could fill a large washout hole.

    The butt is about 300 dia. and usable log length about 2.4.

    Is it useful enough to mill?

    I couldn't see anything about it being used as a furniture or carving timber. It's a small size, but if you can mill it cheaply or for free, you may get some boxes or turnings out of it. No idea what it looks like though.

    Yeah, couldn't find anything about it either which leads me to believe it is probably useless.

    Edit: ...then looked below at "similar threads" and learning more....

    Not a commercial specie. Sometimes used for turning.

    I am in need to make stickers and 4 x4 ground lengths.
    Would the Wilga be suitable for that?
