    If you don't mind MalleeAnt, could you explain what a "controlled extraction" was please?
    Where a lot of people sit around and watch etc. lol Like digging up an ancient site, they looked through everything like archeologists/geologists I'm guessing?

    I haven't myself as I've been caught up with other stuff, but has anyone made anything using any of this redgum yet?

    I'd love to see pics of what people are making!

    cheers, Ian

    Well if it has been sitting around for 8000 years so far I suppose there is no point in rushing things now is there?

    I note that Malleeant who is selling it has not been on the forum since 25 July, and posted last on 21 July. He had been sending me photos via MMS up until 25 July as well but since then, nothing.

    Did anyone actually get any of this?

    Cheers

    I got the really big piece in the pics above, and I thought from the comments posted he'd sold almost all except the really small bits?

    I can make an educated guess as I used to work in a timber mill, but I still don't completely understand the whole provenance thing with them, and how they came to be sold though.

    cheers, Ian
