Hi wheelinaround,
I scored some next door years ago.. and still using it all the time. I do a lot on inlaying and jacaranda contrasts well with other timbers..also has a nice fine grain and is good to work.

Good score.
cheers

ps- hope you brought the dog home

Nice score... that three way crotch in the second and third last pictures has potential to make some nice blanks

She is believe me even without wood finds


Conwood yes dog came home too

This will bolster the few bits we scored some time ago sitting under my bench

Corb's deciding which way to go and cut and turn it all will be hardest either as natural edge or even shapes. One thing is I am not rushing into it let the wood speak

If you give the wood time to dry and talk to it with a beer in hand, it will definitely talk to you. Touching the wood also helps the communication process.

I think you have too much wood
I'll drop over and help you out if need be

Nick I just saw a piece, the piece in the 2nd last photo the shorter one jump into another forumites arms. He called in on his way home. So I now have less timber and he has more.

I'll let you guess who

Cheers

Hey Ray, good for a lot of turning fun isn't it.

I need someone to cut a jacaranda down...

I know where there is a great one - it's in Enfield guys yard!!!

I know - you are thinking what I'm thinking "What's it still doing standing?"

Maybe if I lean on it, really hard!

So - how long before you can use them?

Ray, I might have found a piece of Jacka . . . . it jumped into the back of my truck . . .

...so much wood, so little time

good haul Ray.
