I have posted a few photos on our Faceboob...

Yeah, back from the hol's.
UUmmm put timber brain back on.... I pretty much only have turning blanks in a wide variety of sizes, all rootball material so lots of figure.
try the web...

Isn't it obvious??? its old ;)

In the case of Kauri its the oldest workable timber in the world, best quality material I ever worked with.
Regum just gets harder and more difficult to work.

Well in this context it means that its been carbon dated at a minimum of 30,000 years old.
Ancient Redgum is a mere 5000

Sounds a bit like blood diamonds to me,beware the unintended consequences of your purchasing power.
Having said that, I had a guy in my wood yard the other day that reckons he's got 8m3
I just cut...

I have a heap of Ancient Kauri but for my collection I really desire a descent sized piece of Ancient Redgum ????

a very fine Gidgee long block plane :2tsup: Fabbo

I love it, the smells the vibe ...it has to be good for you.
I am disappointed somewhat that most of the slab sellers only sell green timber though.
It creates a bad impression of the actual value...

around $270, not sure how deep in the container they are only got back today,and only about 5 left that size i think

I've had a lot of experience with this timber.
I find that square section in Sugar Gum tends to 'Diamond' severely.
If its four sided quarter sawn it should be ok to use as a square but if you...

Looks like Sydney Bluegum

Well I'm back from the show and yes we do have a fair bit of ancient Kauri left.
While I am aware that for many people, the cost of this timber may seem high, for those of you that think that's the...

Could not believe how difficult it was to get up the 2500mm Diam Butt.
Now I remember why I stopped climbing trees.
The moisture content was 35% a month after we slabbed it, Made a table from some...

I have two very effective and labour saving methods.
Usually I pick the log up with me loader and drop it on the ground a few times while rolling it over between lifts, drive along aafew times with...

I have to confer with Ian from NZ, Less teeth , better cut but if you are cutting hardwoods try bringing your tooth angle back to 10 degrees rather than the standard 35 degrees it comes as.
you will...

Hi Ya'll
I have a couple of 6' festool orbital sanders that keep crapping out on me due to the annoying design flaw of the power lead in the back.
Now am I holding this thing wrong, ( should be...

If you post a pic or two of the needles and cones and trunk I can ID it for you, give us a ruff(ha ha) idea of the needle length and cone size and I will see what I can come up...

How can you not be sooky they're a constant source of amusement, this is new dog he's learning fast, just can't read all the little squiggles on the ruler and having a hard time holding the saw, as...

Whatever you do dont cut the rounds less thann 100mm thick, that stuff is volatile in the end grain, add lotsa end grain sealant (even wax would do). Makes a good board though like a pale version of...

I have been using a Mobil product , used to be called mobilsur end grain sealant, I bought a 44 gallon drum (yeh I know, its a bit over the top Ive got a lot of stuff) about half the price...

Well I'd agree with Tex on that, it looks great.
Whats actually happening is as you describe. Its a grain direction change which means that any finish you put on it is being taken up at a different...
