    Chris,

    What are the workability properties of MC? How does it compare with regards to hardness and grain?

    I've seen it finished and I know it has a reputation for being toxic, but that's about all I know.

    Cheers,
    Luke

    Luke,
    I can't answer those questions, but I have seen pictures posted on the Forum so other members have used it.
    I'm selling it on behalf of a widowed lady whose husband left it. It certainly seems to take finish well.
    (I thought you were discarding things, not accumulating!)
    regards
    Chris

    Here's someone who seems to know something about it:

    Haha, I am... I am...

    But I never got to work with any Mackay Cedar!

    Deep breaths...

    It's becoming more and more apparent to me that I'm going to have to buy a summer house (with a workshop and a sawmill) in Australia one day.

    Works well, turns well finishes beautifully but the dust is like breathing pepper - I've never worked another timber quite as harsh on the dust side.
