Blackwood for the "right" price
I was kindly offered around a ute load of Blackwood logs (need to be cut and carted) from Robertson, NSW Highlands. As I already have literally tons of Blackwood I passed but said I'd pass on the offer to Forum members. Suggest that it would be safer to have a couple of folk on the job. If anyone is interested please PM me and I'll provide the contact details.
Cheers
Phil

Looks like no interest so I've told the owners not to save it any longer. Destined for firewood. Pity, it was nice timber.

Why not put it on the Timber sub-forum?

I have been there and done that with the same effect. Which is a shame as Southern Highland Black wood is or has just as much colour if not more than Tasmanian. The climate is very similar and add to the the rich black top soil, it produces great timber.

That is a bit of a pity.
The Sydney Wood Turners Guild has an affiliated club in the Southern Highlands. Or one of the clubs in Wollongong, of even one of the members here Pat who is at least within an hours drive to Roberson.

I doubt that it has been taken yet so if you know someone who is interested please have them ping me. Regardless, I have plenty of Blackwood and am happy to pass some on to a club. I also have a heap of camphor laurel that I'd be comfortable doing a beer trade with!!

I can assure you what Philly and Hughie are saying the colour is brilliant not just for turning blanks but I am sure for box making.
I couldn't help but bring my box Hughie gave me some time ago with us to QLD then Hughie sent along a larger blank with Fletty.
Christos I gave you a piece have you turned it yet?
Dorno also?

This could go on the Free list of the Marketplace - the most obvious place to offer it.

Hi Phily, Hughie has just rung me and told me about you oversupply problem. I'm happy to take a trailer load of it at your convenience. I'm in Wollongong and available most days. Cheers, John
