Thread: A couple of Huons

They look very nice. Well done

Nice work on the Sierra and the EB's.
Fit and finish look great.
Great match of plating to complement the timber.

Nice pens in every respect!!

Birdseye Huon is one of my favourite timbers.

Would love to work on that wood, know anywhere that sells uniquely australian wood? would need them to ship it too though.

Hi Freddie, Thanks for your comments, and yes it is great wood to turn and produces a very fine finish for a soft wood.
You could try looking here for some Australian woods. They do ship worldwide I believe if you read their "About us" page.

Hi there clever maker of those gorgeous Huon Pine pens (and others in the forum?) I'm still new to forums and I don't really know where to start and how to use them to ask questions (or even if this is the best place to ask them...).
Anyway here goes... I have recently won on ebay what is supposed to be a Huon Pine dresser and I would love to know some tips in identifying if the timber is actually Huon Pine and not Baltic Pine etc. I am supposed to be collecting it soonish but would love to be prepared with some knowledge. I do have a 'nose' for sniffing out and appreciating the smell of Huon (bizarre as it sounds) as I own a couple of Huon knick nacks. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Cheers PS I really enjoyed dabbling (long time ago) in an evening college Woodwork class. Would have loved to have had Woodwork instead of sewing when I was in High School. Might start some projects again one day...
