wombatie Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 The courier arrived this morning with a VERY heavy box and when I open it surprise surprise. A friend of my daughters lives in Launceston Tasmania and he found out about my little hobby so sent me all of this wood. Its Huon Pine a native of Tasmania. I sent him a message to say thank you and he said that if I want any more just to let him know. Gee my daughter's got some great friends. Marg Travis and ChelCass 2 Quote

Well now you have your wheels turning for projects.Any hints as to what you might make with the trunk chunk of wood?hint hint! I'm not sure what I will be cutting yet. I gave the counter a really good clean when I had put the wood into the garage, didn't want to get into trouble if he got splinters in his sandwich. :lol: :lol: Marg Quote
