    Default The art of wood

    Butterfly matching can sometimes yield very interesting patterns of grain

    Here's a few of my favourites that I have milled over the years

    From' Blackwood Man' to 'Mango the Lion'

    The wonderment of wood!

    Hope you like 'em as much as I do

    Absolutely stunning but "Mango the Lion" is my pick, very realistic and natural x 10

    This is stunning material mate. Can’t believe some of the figure and colours in these pieces.

    What are the names of the pieces you have. I thought I recognised some of it but I’m not confident in that so would love to know. Incase I ever need to place an order perhaps

    They have all found good homes already Nathan...sent off into the woodworking ether lol

    Camphor,Mango,Blackwood make up the bulk of it though

    Also Spotted Gum,Coastal Banksia and Cigar Box Cedar

    Stump wood is truly magical

    Spitting image of an elephant, very reminiscent of a ceremonial tusker in Sri Lanka
