Took this pic today
Shows the surface (below the bark) of the sapwood,of a branch that had been under heavy compression
Look closely and you'll notice the 'interlocked' grain pattern
It will produce beautiful figure
The question is often raised on this forum regarding how to identify fiddleback occurring within a log by way of visual examination.
This is one example...MM

I assume the Bougainvillea is the second last photo, and the fiddle is in Mango?

Some interesting timber coming up here. What is the Bunya like? You haven't made much mention except that it is medium sized. Probably not like some of those in the Bunya mountains! I am growing a couple, but I don't think they will be ready in time (make that my time) .
I am interested in the Bunya, although I don't really know what I would do with it. Is it large enough to get some 150mm x 25mm boards out of it rather than slabs?
Regards
