Thread: Uses for Norfolk Pine

stu doesn't matter to much what you cut it to just make sure you cut it as soon as possible .hopefully one of the other blokes will see your post and put in a link to this thread as we were discussing the problems associated with this tree .blue stain.personally i think it's quite bland but it doesn't move much is light and reasonbly strong.

Bits of it make for glorious turning blanks...

It's a really good wood to use for axe throwing targets, they stick in well and it's very hard to split. Trouble is this is not a common sport in Australia.

i reckon i know why.I wouldn't put my hand up to be the target

Stu, if you have a bit of space and she's large enough, take it home and get it sliced up, make sure you get it done soon after felling and get the guy slicing it to give it a dose of junk to stop the bluestain.

Oh and take some pics!!!
