    Default Milling mulga??

    Hi all, I've had an opportunity come up to mill as many mulga trees as I want but I have never even seen mulga timber. Is it worth milling? Apparently they are big enough to cut out a 4"x4" post. What is it good for and is it easy enough to sell? Thanks

    Have a look at this report, particularly the mulga wood stool.

    A number of years ago Robert Dunlop, a woodworking craftsman from Brisbane, had a mulga table on display at the annual Working with Wood Show. It was very impressive.

    Yes. It's worth milling
    Yes. It's very hard
    Yes. Some turners love it.
    Yes. It's hard on tools.
    Yes. Some woodies will run a mile from it
    Yes. It's worth milling
