No association, just another supplier to add to my list, I'll certainly be going back.

I scored logs of Gidgee (huge), Lancewood, Vinewood and Mulga (a few of each ). He also had heaps of Hairy Oak, Beefwood, Wilga, Mango, Bansia that I resisted, I had already got some at the Melany show . He unfortunately had run out of that beautiful Western Qld Rosewood I had also scored previously, but was getting more in.

Cheers

I thought he who dies with the most tools wins, has it been changed to timber?

Cheers

I reckon so Mic

Forgot to add, that I'll be adding this one to my one day must visit list too. But not till I try my darndest to use some of the timber i've got to make some room.

Both

Hi Neil,

Did he happen to mention when he's getting more inland rosewood? I'm starting to see what you mean about it being a beautiful timber and alas, only got a small piece at Maleny so I'm keen for more. Bloody addiction...

What sort of sizes of vinewood did you manage to get from him? Dusty stuff but very nice when polished up...

He said he goes west usually in June/July, probably to coincide with the cooler weather. He also said he was trying to save some more of those rosewood fenceposts from the fireplace, can only hope he is successful. I too only scored a single piece. Hopefully he will reply to this post with some details.

I only scored one Vinetree log around 150-200mm dia 1.2m long. He only had one other log but I was out of money.
