Hi there, sorry if this is in the wrong spot...1st time at this. I was doing some earthworks on a property and a old cottage had to be pushed over, I saw this window and had to salvage it. It's 950 x 1650 and weighs a tonne! It has dovetailed joints and a nice bevel on the inside. It was from out Mudgee way and would love for someone to suggest a timber type off the pictures i hope to attach. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Sorry I mucked all that up.....So I have this timber window frame that I saved from being buried along with the rest of the building. I've started removing the old nails and have started sanding it back, the building was erected in 1910 and it weighs a tonne. It would be greatly appreciated if there are any suggestions of the type of timber it is. Thankyou, hope the picture works this time.

Hi GTHO
You will need to upload your picture to a photo sharing site, rather than linking it straight to your C: drive. Photobucket is pretty easy to use.

As you can see im new to all this and keen to learn, Is cypress really hard? There is evidence on the underside of the bottom where a borer or some insect has had a go and stopped after 3in.

Resinous
GTHO
Cypress (depending on species) can be hard and brittle but what makes it so resistant to insect attack is the amount and type of resin which most insects dislike. They will attack the more weathered areas where the resins are lower.
A great timber but difficult to do fine work with ... and love the smellRamps
When one has finished building one's house, one suddenly realizes that in the process one has learned something that one really needed to know in the worst way--before one began.
