YUUUUGE Macadamia
This would be one of those once in a lifetime moments, or at the very least knocking on the door of one.
How old this tree would have been I have no idea, but is has a serious amount of character.
For those of you who don't know Macadamia is purple when cut or cleaned up, once the UV gets to it it turns brownish, or thereabouts.
3 slabs, 2 fletches and some other big stuff not calculated for;
Due to is rarity and character $600 ono pickup. I can deliver for a small addition to that so long as you're not too far away, otherwise it'll be heaps.
I imagine the fletches to be useful for some turning or some freehand Arbortech carving, which I can also help you out with if you don't have any Arbortech gear because I'm still selling all of mine. Could probably make pen blanks too because this stuff is as hard as something that's really hard.

Price dropped to $550 pickup.
Starting to look like it's gonna be a warm start to winter at my place.

Fekit
The correct term is 'flitch' not 'fletch'
Just saying

Yes mate, due to the overwhelming lack of interest I've still got it all plus a few more bits not shown.

Sorry to get you excited, but I do love Macadamia.
I have already spent too much this week.
Sorry.
regardsBilly
