Helen, a wonderful friend of ours, dropped by the other day with three logs from her parents farm. Yes, it's Blackwood. How cool is that. It was otherwise destined for the fireplace. ... Not any more... A quick simple shape bowl and some re sawing to get a feel for it and now planning what will become of the remainder.... Maybe a tool cabinet.?.. The timber cuts without vices and polishes up to a beautiful sheen. No wonder it was held in such high regard by older craftsmen as furniture timber in times past.
