There sits MM in his wood heap but, unlike a termite, he means no harm.
He just teases and then reveals the most marvelous of natures creations.
The teasing is undoubtedly cruel but the ecstasy of the revelation is such
a blessed relief and joy that he is always forgiven.

I have a coastal banksia that was cut off at ground level a year ago. Circa 40 cm diameter.
How deep would the roots go, and is it worthwhile digging it out to slice up, or not?

They would make great veneers. How big are the sections?
Cheerio!

Wow, amazing colour. I would be very keen for some of that fiddle back if you'll be selling it?

Always on the lookout for timber suitable for veneering. Doing a fair bit in camphor laurel right now. If you have anything similar pop up, please let me know. Looking for timber where the light/dark grain remains obvious from 25 feet away. Here is an example of what I seek, showing eight veneers in camphor laurel on a 900 X 900 mm coffee table top.
