Ah, another of the infamous Australian 'Ashes'. Thank you.

I have a log in the yard i can cut any size you are after . would have to have KD ,the log has been there for a while so not sure of the state it is in ,I know the outside of dunnii dosn't weather well.
cheers john

Great, Where are you located? I am overseas at the moment and will be back in December. So I will get in touch with you then. Thanks

WW - by the spelling of Dunn I would guess that Dunn was an Irishgentleman from Killarny after whom the tree was named.

Ash because the grain resembles the Ash trees of Europe.

is it any thing like crows ash??

I think Crows ash is more yellow in color, Killarney is very pale almost white sometimes with a pink tinge.

Its this really light not yellow color I am after.
