Thread: Maple bowl

Good on you Ad. Your post brought a second smile to my face being on the forum today. I don't know what the rules are about sending wood OS, but I'd like to send you over a lump of Oz timber and see what you come up with. At my cost, so don't worry.

Anyone got any knowledge on the export rules?

Jeff, you're a hell of a guy, your offer is very generous, but I'm afraid it will cost you a small fortune to get a lump of Oz timber oversea all the way to Holland.
If I want I can get Aussie wood like Jarrah and Karri by the ''Arnhem finewood'' or the ''Amsterdam finewood''. And I hope that I'm able to knock on your frontdoor when we decide that the time is right to jump in a plane to make our roundtrip to Down Under.
Buy me than a good cold Aussie beer, for sure I'll buy you a beer in return, or more, depends how it taste
O B Obrian from Texas USA send me 5 years ago a package with manuals by post and only that small package cost him 25$ to get it to my place, just to let you know how expensive it is.

Hi Ad

Great set up for the hollowing tool support.. self made, well, you must be multi talented!
Hey Jeff, most people here are concerned about importing wood to Oz and, as you probably know, strict quarantine rules apply, unless a certificate of compliance can be provided from the source. With regard to exporting, I am not aware of the Dutch import rules, but suspect that if a certificate accompanies the blank, stating it has been fumigated, it should be OK.
Cheers

Alright, the export idea doesn't sound like a good one.

But Ad, if you decide to visit I'm sure you'll find a spare "turner's bed" just about anywhere in Oz. Lucky you decided not to come here this week. The re-stumping guys have the jack hammers out and are driving me insane.
