Well - no pressure here.
I was think of a framing it in a bit of meranti from Bunnies and mounting my piece on the wall.
I might have to change that plan.....

Skip using MDF. Use white birch with dovetail joints holding it together. That are done by hand.

Just dressed this piece...not 100% certain what species it is but am leaning towards River Red Gum..the log surface is way different to Forest Red Gum or Rose Gum and it is very durable too..cuts very easily though! Any thoughts appreciated...MM

Chris, Rosewood would fit the bill, durable but easy to work.

Heres the base of the Butt log...the bark wasn't stringy (discountimg Red Stringybark) and the log surface is covered in little spikes...seems to be very durable too...MM
