Hi Marcus79...welcome to the forum
Wont be milling the Bougainvillea as there was a little too much fencing wire in it
Still more Mango to mill though
Glad your like it mate...MM

I can get you a demolition blade for your recipro saw.

That should handle the wire

The Bougainvillea has been 'beat up' a bit Dave
Stem was damaged due to the Backhoe dude
He was getting frustrated removing the 2-3 ton of prickly stems
Had to vent his frustration some how!
Heartwood was of a cream color and there are a few small burls on the lower stem
Might be something salvageable in it...MM

I'll lend you an ozito reciprocating saw for the job if you decide to salvage. A reckon a good week a few saws and a hundred blades later you'd have simething to show for your efforts.

I bit of bogenvilia burl sounds interesting

Grey Gum has some stunning colors
Very firm timber though...almost take a weld this stuff
Nice break from the Mango too ...MM

Grey Gum is a great timber. One of the best logs I ever cut was a Grey Gum over 1m in diameter.

Paul
