I'll start with - "Howdy". Los Angeles ex-pat (married to a gal from Mildura) and now living on the NW Coast of Tassie. Hack luthier and long-time Craftsman/Mission-style furniture builder joining the Forum to have a squiz and to connect to like minded folks.

I work milling Tasmanian specialty timbers (Blackwood, Myrtle, Sassafras, Leatherwood, etc.) and spend the weekends doing a radio show and mucking about in the shed. It's QE2's Birthday celebration-excuse-for-a-day-off, so we figured we'd introduce ourselves.

Cheers,
K

You and your 'gal' ended up in a beautiful part of the world, from what we are told, Jack, and welcome.

Thanks for rolling out the Welcome Wagon Ol' Cocky and you are correct IMHO: This is one of the prettiest places in the world..

As a former winemaker, I have had occassion to work in many beautiful places but NW Tassie does it for us. Enjoy the rest of the long weekend, ay?

Cheers and thanks again,
Riggsy

Cheers,
