Thread: What wood?

The timber comes under two names, Saltalus Grindupus, and Pepperus Chopupalus.


Al

OR the less popular name. Seasonus Masheratorus

I'm not a botanist, whats the common name?

Ignore 'em, they are winding you up.... Saltalus Grindupus = Salt Grinder

It looks like one of the Wattles that grows up here but I can't say for sure.
Where'd you get it or who did you get it from?

They were winding me up? blast.
Came from my Father in laws dad who lives in Atherton but has dimentia now. (George stien.)I have some black wattle at home and it looks a fair bit different.
Cheers

I do not know what the wood is, but it has a distinctive grain, an looks well seasoned.

I agree that it looks different to the Black Wattle.

We have a house on the Southern Tablelands between Milla Milla & Malanda about 30 something Kms for Atherton. I got some timber from a dead tree that blew over 2 cyclones ago & it looks similar. Going on the shape of the tree (no leaves left) it lookes like a wattle that grows thereabouts.

It didn't smell like Camphour did it? There's a fair bit of that up there too.

No camphour, just made me cough a bit. The father in law just brought a trailer full of blanks back from there. (From the old fella shed) Heaps off cedar silky oak a bit of gidgee maple and some hairy oak. I'm a very lucky lad.

Are you trying to tell us that you DON'T do it for the kick? (bite) :confused:

Have you ever gone fishing & not had a bite?
