Welcome to the forum.
G'Day & Welcome to the Great Southern Land and to a top forum "Lefley".
There are quite a few "Canuck" members plus the other North American country and the rest of the world.....
You'll find a heap of helpful & knowledgeable blokes & ladies on the forum and for most very willing to assist.
Make sure you show off your handiwork as everyone loves a photo, especially WIP [Work In Progress] photos with build notes.
There is a top mob in the toymaking and model making section of the forum, so please post your toys.
Enjoy the forum.
Enjoy your woodwork.....

Hi Lefley, I've been to BC a few times and just love how wild and beautiful it is. I have a mate there who used to mill timber at the Vancouver City Council log dump on the shores of English Bay (Spanish Banks Beach Park) - I also know someone in Williams Lake. I've also had a hankering to go and do a woodwork course at Robert's Creek.
Talking about Burls I have a Sheoak Burl on my drive way that I should cut up and do something with.

Welcome mate.
Burl? I drive past trees with burl every day and have a mate who drops trees for a living, I get free wood to burn or turn. I count myself very lucky.
