    Default Northern Silky Oak

    Had to rearrange stock in order to make more room in my storage container for my beloved Northern Silky Oak
    The Bad Boy slab pictured is 800mm wide x 2400mm long
    Quarter sawn slab next to it is around 450mm wide
    Lovely colour too!

    That is rare, and beautiful timber.

    Why have you moved so far away from me, Chris, you were far enough away before.

    Lovely timber but I hope you are not moving that around by yourself just yet.

    Tom...I managed to slide them onto the ute
    Have to admit...the largest slabs were a challenge
    Feeling really well though
    But...probably shouldn't be engaging in this sort of task yet
    Was really concerned about the termites taking up residence as the pack was sitting in the yard on the dirt...not good!
    Now safe in the container

    Agreed, 20degrees most days for me here and sunny skies. Best winter conditions

    Jim...you are right
    Northern Silky Oak is certainly scarce these days
    Timber was recovered from a dead standing tree many moons ago
    Provenance the Palmer River...far Nth Qld
    Butt log was in excess of 1000mm bdh
    The sapwood had deteriorated but the heartwood was left untouched by the bugs
    Very slow growing tree I suspects
    Bearing in mind it was growing in the 'dry' tropics

    Yeah, but how far do you have to drive to have a ski?

    Lucky you didn't move down here when the idea briefly entered your conciousness, Chris. I suspect you may have died.
