Div, were the hell are you?

Howzit Div,

Waar is jy? I haven't seen any activity from you on your site or on lumberjocks. Hope you are keeping well?

It's Drool time again

Howzit Div,

Here we go again with the latest instalment of wood porn from Downunder.

http://www.auctions.com.au/auctions/2011/08/13/wa-logs-timber-packs-burl...

I managed to snag two small lots that I could fit in the boot of my car (Lot 81 &106), mainly Sheoak and some larger blocks for turning .

The prices on some of the stuff was the lowest I've ever seen. None of the large Jarrah or Marri slabs went over the $300 mark.
A number of the whole logs in the yard did not even get a single bid.
Sign of the times?

I'll post a few pics of a small bowl that I've managed to turn out of the Sheoak later.

Greetings

Stephen

Howzit Div,

Here is a link to the latest FPC wood auction held in May.

Hope you are ready and able to control your drool from not shorting out your keyboard.
Wish I had access to milling equipment, some of those logs just need cracking open to reveal their inner beauty.

ENJOY!
