Thread: Lace Sheaoak

Very nice work once again Les.

Nice work Les,

Nice glossy one right there love the timber and great match for the Sedona kit used.

Cheers
Tony.

Another installment of perfection. You must have a good outlet for all your pens to allow you to keep stocking up so regularly.

Hmmmmm Les
I agonised over this post a few times now, but feel the need to respond.
The timber does not look like Lace Sheoak to my, just plain old Sheoak. Did you buy it?

Sincerely

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken

Thought the same thing Willy. Not like any Lace Sheoak I know.

I hope Les hasn't been dudded!!!

I'm with Willy and artme. It isn't lace sheoak although I haver heard that Allocasuarina fraseriana, my local sheoak and the source of lace sheoak, is sometimes wrongly sold overseas as lace. Lace is a pattern that only some sheoak has. Here is a pic of lace sheoak that I cut into a blank about 2 weeks ago. It has more of a webbed pattern than a normal growth ring pattern. - hence the 'lace' name.
