G'day mate,
my name is Barry and i am a retired French Polisher who has spent a life time working with wood. Got interested in wood work from my father who was a builder. My passion was restoring old furniture but now i am interested in wood burning and stumbled on this site looking for basswood as some wood burners from the U.S.A. claim it is the best for that art. Looks like i may be using Australian timbers instead .
I have always enjoyed working with Australian cabinet timbers so will continue using them .If any wood worker wants to talk french polishing i am your man as i have spent over 50 years in that trade and even now am still dabbling in restoration of furniture .
