Hunting a bit of cheese wood for a wacky sculpture. Has to be cheese wood cos its part of the thing. Pitosporum Bicolour. Would like a bit at least 300 x 300 x 50mm platter shaped I guess. (Or bigger, but that's probably a big ask. )Anyone got some lurking in their stash? Or know where I can get some?
Nobody? Anybody? :)
Maybe you need to get some mouse-wood first!:U
I did ring them. they haven't got back to me.Quote:

They seem to be a very skinny tree.
Li think you will struggle to find a piece that size.
Does it need to be cheesewood or just something blonde?
If I can't get cgeese wood I guess I will use the maple I have in the stash. Its just that cheese wood is part of the joke.:UQuote:

Yes. Cheese? Partly for the joke of the name. Paretly for the white hard wood. One day when its done you will understand.:DQuote:

IST's website is accurate but not necessarily complete - they often have small quantities of stuff that is not listed on their website - so you have to visit or ring.
Failing them, try Briton Bros Timber in Smithton - (03) 6452 2522.
It is really rare and and rarely harvested, so good luck.
