    Hi Ron,
    I bought this Red River Gum from a Place called Cockatoo Timbers at Cockatoo Creek, Ebor NSW.

    Interesting Grain and texture, very heavy as well.

    Cheers
    Steve

    A couple of places that probably have it are Arbuthnots, and Nullarbor.

    Thanks Ron, the Top is Birdseye Red River Gum (Never seen it before or since)
    Curves at the plinth are made from Sepelle. Just for interest sake the draw on the left is a deep draw not 2 singles and has around 52 hand cut dovetails in it. Please to finish that bit

    Cheers
