    The stuff I was given was from the back of Toowoomba, common names .

    Cheers
    That's the problem with common names, they get thrown around loosely and can refer to a completely different tree in another district.

    The species we have here in the SE of South Australia and Wimmera region of western Victoria (and the one that Brendan would supply) is A. luehmannii. It does grow right up into Queensland, but the major stands of it are found in the above areas.
    Stay sharp and stay safe!

    Default Looking for buloke wood walking cane..

    I am looking for a piece of buloke wood for making a walking cane. I was corresponding with someone on this site while I was deployed to Afghanistan, but lost their contact info.

    I would appreciate any help.

    Thanks,

    CJ

    Every time this thread turns up in the new posts listing I always see the title as "Amazing Bukake". Not sure why.

    Now that I've actually read the thread and found out the timber in question is bull oak, it's even funnier.
    You know you're making progress when there's sawdust in your coffee.
