Going to local shows. #26: I have not been to Tasmania...

Just milled today Tasmanian blackwood!!! beautiful timber. I have heaps of slabs, do you want me to send you one? :-)

-- The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep...

moshel, How about sending a little to all the LS? We will be very appreciative :-))

Larry, you meant there is a real Tasmania? I thought that was a fictious place where Tasmanian Devils came from!!

Enjoy the trip and please give us some updates. Sounds like a lot of fun.

TopamaxSurvivor no problem. each slab is 2m long ~50cm wide, 7cm thick. it weight over 100kg…. do you have a FedEx account I can use? :-) remember, I am in NZ (and no, this is not a US state)

-- The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep...

Sorry, no FedX acct here:-(( I thought shipping was included :-)) I know where you are. If the wood was in North America, we could go get it ourselves :-) Sorry it is not as much a pleasure doing business with you as I thought it might be :-((

I wished I were with you. Have a very good time, Larry.

Hi Larry, you sound like a pilgrim on the road to Jerusalem. That Black Sassafras is spectacular wood. I can see why you like it so much. I hope you have a good time and also sell a lot. Looking forward to your follow-up blog.

Larry, I hope that you have a great trip and a grate show. Keep up the good work.

Look out for that overweight baggage charge on the way back, or are you going to send all the wood back
on the slow boat from China. I know you are not going to be able to resist buying at least one or one
hundred pieces of wood. Enjoy and keep us posted.
