Home made lemon butter and marmalade - give away almost everything for those sort of offerings

You declined, weak moment I suppose

Nick, to make matters worse for Ray, I have unpacked the pack . . . 1/2 lengths of Walnut from 580*150*25 to 1000*150*25, Silky Oak 565*150*35 - 1100*200*35, including a very pale plank. Also there is so Tassie Oak (Eucalyptus mixalot) and some "been a tree"

plus the Jacky

One of the planks in 50mm thick . . . depending on the needs and wishes of the the management . . . some turning blanks may appear . . .

The Lemon Butter is nice and Tart and the Ginger Marmalade is smooth. Sue gave me enough to last a while.

Bugger it I'll go and write down all the details and really give you the

Ok 22 sticks, including 9 Walnut, 8 Silky Oak, 4 Tassie Oak and 1 Been A Tree. I maybe wrong on some of the id's but still am a happy camper.

Nice haul Wheelin. Now the waiting game starts...

I'm in the middle of building a shed and there's a nice thick Jacaranda branch that's just gotta go. It's about 8" round and several metres long. In the process of sorting out the lack of bandsaw issue first though

Cheers,
Dave

Dave,

Cut to length with whatever you use to cut the limb off and split in half with steel wedges. ( Assuming this timber will split.)

**Texian** · 20th August 2009, 03:56 AM

Wheelin,
What kind is the yellow wood? It looks a lot like our Osage Orange.

Good idea - Jacaranda has a fairly straight grain and I imagine it will split well. (though I'm picking up a bandsaw today

)

Cheers,
Dave
