Hi
I joined this forum out of necessity really I can’t seem to find information I’m looking for and everything I have found requires a botanist degree in botany. Hehe botany. Any whooo I have recently started blacksmithing and as a result I need to be able to work wood. This was an oversight on my behalf as everything I have ever made from wood has turned into garbage. But hey how much could go wrong? So I would like to know a couple of things right off the bat
1: good Australian wood’s for handle making
2: best practices when using those woods (is green ok?)
3: what is normalisation (I don’t have any cactus lying around)
4: required tooling (I can make these! But without handles)
5: Any books, PDFs, reference material that would give me a better understanding of points 1,2 and 3 :)
Thanks everyone!!
