I think thats what they call Knarley.

-- The only thing wrong with instant gratification is that it's not fast enough.

Great group of turniings. Lots of different styles. Fantastic wood. All very artfull.

Keep it up.

Scrappy

-- Scrap Wood's the best...the projects are smaller, and so is the mess!

Bob I’m telling you I am going to have to come to Australia to see these.
You amaze me every time. Is this wood from a tree that grows in Australia?
Very fine work.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks all, glad some more like this wood.
Karson: I have just posted a different type of burl project and added some photo of the cut offs from the blank used.
Rod: Yes, the tree is River Red Gum which grows in Aust. the rot or borings are done by the Whitchety grub (a delicacy for the indiginous people). Lot better woods out here mate and I haven’t even used them. Have a look at the next lot with the West Australian Jarrah Burl – no rot in these.
