Very generous.....
Today I went scratching through the wood heap to find something serious to give it a good testing on.
I have a couple of pieces of local red hardwood.
I've no idea what it is other than it is bloody hard to split it with an axe radially, it just bounces off.
It will split with an axe it you line up the growth rings but it still takes several good hits to wedge the axe through it.
It doesn't have gum inclusions like stringy bark or bloodwood but it does make good fire wood.
I'll get some pics before I start & I'll start a new thread & put a link back here.Cliff.
If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

HSS tube, that'll be a challenge, its mainly made into bar. But if you get some and have it drilled out then hardened. Thats probably the only way to go, have a look at the Bohler site and check out Vanadis 60 thats part of thier HSS range
