    Very nice. That's very unusual colour in that figured section. Never seen anything like it and I've seen a lot of blackwood.

    G'day Mapleman

    I've milled something similar from a rough blackwood in Tassie. What you have looks great. What you can get out of some logs that the bigger millers wouldn't touch is interesting, makes straight grain stuff look boring - keep milling

    I swear there must be bodies buried on your property! Their spirits seem to keep popping up in your logs. There may be some tricky questions to answer if an image resembling Donald Mackay shows up in one.

    Another great find MM!
