SHEOAK [ ALLOCOSUARINA FRASERIANA]
Thought I`d start a thread on our great looking Sheoak we have here in WA ,just pics of pieces as I mill them and cut them up only to show the variety of colour and grain that you can find ,every piece is a surprise and wonder.

Thanks for posting.
Sheoak is one of my favourite timbers. Individual as, and tough as nails.

I was once asked to polish some trophies made of sheoke. It didn't need filler of any sort and was one of the easiest bits of French polishing I've done. I picked up a piece a few years back and it's waiting in the shed for inspiration.
Cheers,
Jim
