Anything
Because of the internal holes, cracks and other faults you may have to fill with resins and join together various pieces, but the sky is still the limit. It is a beautiful timber the takes a glass like finish. I've used it for tool handles, boxes, many turned items etc. I've even got a few 100x150x600 lumps waiting to become large hand planes.Neil____________________________________________Every day presents an opportunity to learn something new

What Neil said. If you've got some spare then I'll gladly take it off your hands, I'm just over at Meringandan

Nice looking log
ps Perhaps too late for that log, but I'd be removing the hairy bark before milling, it usually contains heaps of sand or sandy dust that takes the edge of your blade very quickly.Neil____________________________________________Every day presents an opportunity to learn something new
