    Default Bottlebrush wanted

    Would anyone in SE Qld or thereabouts have a small amount of bottlebush (callistemon) for sale? I need about a dozen pieces 0.5m to 1m long and 25mm x 25mm, dry.

    What do you need it for JB?

    I chopped down a red bottlebrush a few years ago and kept the trunk for turning. Unfortunately I didn't end seal it and it cracked pretty bad:mad: , but I think I still have it. It was around 120mm dia and around 1m long, so not sure it would be enough for you. I'll search on th weekend amoungst the heap to see if I still have it.

    Cheers
    Neil

    Searched through the pile and found 2 trunks, not sure which one is the bottlebrush. The tape in the photos is extended to 1m. The cheese knife is from the first one that I think was the bottlebrush.
