Unknown Oz, was part of that lot sale I snagged a while back.
it reminds me of the bog oak I received from Mike T in attributes though. Maybe closer to the bark?"Depression is just anger,, without the enthusiasm."

Kauri is a balsa or the equivalent from my experience.

This might not be kauri then. Stuff is heavy and hard to turn. Almost resiny when the tools get warm..
At the end of the day, they should like em, hehe."Depression is just anger,, without the enthusiasm."

I think it is quite dense and fairly petrified?

I wonder how many different types of bog/swamp wood are out there?..

I made a video but I can't post it. It has a .MOV file extension. Any help would be appreciated. I don't want to go to YouTube. Originally Posted by 32t

I went a little extreme with the Balsa comparison but the stuff I got to try is way to soft for scales and it is light in color. Originally Posted by sharptonn

It may vary but it is a medium rather than soft or hard wood. Was used for flooring in older Sydney houses 100 or so years ago. Originally Posted by 32t
