Thanks everyone for your comments, much appreciated.
Hi Maxine,
Budgeroo hails from Western Qld and only grows in the worst country! (Correction! I was thinking late last night, it is Bendee that grows in the worst country!) Botanical name lysicarpus angustifolious here is a fantastic link to a site owned by Vern that gives an overview of most of the outback timbers, highlighting Budgeroo and many other beautiful timbers.
Budgeroo
regards
Billy

A great box, a really suitable repository for the Medal that it will hold.

Hi Billybodes,
I am in Bardon in Brisbane and am looking for someone who can make me a document box that will store A4 pages. Nothing too fancy - but need for a birthday next coming up soon. Any chance you could help me out? If you can and can give me an idea of pricing, I would really appreciate it. Thanks,Last edited by motheranna; 6th October 2010 at 01:18 AM. Reason: person I am buying it for might see it and know it is for him

Great box Billyboydes. The lid is inspiring and I like the the external appearance of the larger spline that also supports the tray.
I've just become an optimist . Iv'e made a 25 year plan -oopps I've had a few birthdays - better make that a 20 year plan
