    Default Hunting a bit of cheese wood-

    Hunting a bit of cheese wood for a wacky sculpture. Has to be cheese wood cos its part of the thing. Pitosporum Bicolour. Would like a bit at least 300 x 300 x 50mm platter shaped I guess. (Or bigger, but that's probably a big ask. )Anyone got some lurking in their stash? Or know where I can get some?

    They seem to be a very skinny tree.
    Li think you will struggle to find a piece that size.
    Does it need to be cheesewood or just something blonde?

    If I can't get cgeese wood I guess I will use the maple I have in the stash. Its just that cheese wood is part of the joke.

    Yes. Cheese? Partly for the joke of the name. Paretly for the white hard wood. One day when its done you will understand.

    Island Specialty Timbers at Geeveston had a couple of small cheesewood logs reserved for their (monthly?) auction when I was down there about three months ago. Their phone no is (03) 6295 7161.

    IST's website is accurate but not necessarily complete - they often have small quantities of stuff that is not listed on their website - so you have to visit or ring.

    Failing them, try Briton Bros Timber in Smithton - (03) 6452 2522.

    It is really rare and and rarely harvested, so good luck.
