Old Crows Ash
Picked this up yesterday...Old Crow's Ash that was growing in suburban Kilcoy.
Around 900mm girth at d.b.h...an absolute cracker of a log,way too good to be feed into a chipper...MM

The smaller Branches.
Hi Mapleman,
Although I'm to far away, what happened to the 30 - 50 -75 - & 100mm. Branches.
Sounds like they went through the Chipper.
Certainly a cracker of a log. Didn't spot a crack anywhere.Regards,
issatree.
Have Lathe, Wood Travel.

WOW and WOW and WOW!!!! Imagine veneers of that on a violin!!!
MM, did you read my post "Ä Mystery"?.. The timber reminded me a little of Crows Ash but it is a wattle.
Haven't had a chance to photograph yet but you might know something of the local acacias.
