@moorey I've got a busy day at work today so no time for long posts, can converse more over the weekend. In addition to the advice on hair, make sure he's got a full face shield as a minimum and if he gets really hardcore consider a powered ventilator one as getting sensitised to dusts at a young age would really suck for the rest of your life.
I've got some bowl blanks I cut from old WA house timbers in my shed Jarrah / Karri. PM your post address and I'll see if I can send a couple unless the termites have got them.

^ good advice. Woods like Moreton Bay chestnut and some wattles can really do you a nasty. Google before cutting and take the right precaurions.

Wears a face shield turning and a dust mask sanding. It's in an open area with a breeze, but I'm working on him wearing a mask even more. Luckily, he researches a lot, and is pretty safely conscious. NFI how I've lived to 50.

Are you only 50?

Get off my lawn!

If you're chopping down cherry ballarts I'll ride to you're house and shove my 29er up you're coit. They are slow growing and near impossible to propagate. They aren't a tree for a kid to chop down and practice on.

Hell no. There are many dead ones here, trunks rotted out and fallen over.
Jumping to some big conclusions there, cobber. Felix doesn’t chop anything down.

 

[moorey]

You know what? I think that was a ridiculous thing to assert the more I stew on it.
Next time you want to make half cocked accusations, maybe message your concerns to me rather than pull that shit.

Found these really weathered and grub eaten bits of Blackwood. Can’t wait to see what he does with them. View attachment 365957

And @Freediver, these were collected roadside earlier in the week. Council is removing some dead and rotting trees along our road. They were more than happy for me to grab them. Thanks for asking.

Bit touchy, I did say "if you are" not you're a prick for chopping them down.

 

[hifiandmtb]

But fuck me what a fucking prick he would be if he had!

Fucking prick.

Yeah nah, you were clear on all your points. I lack tack, that was next level.

Shit can you get Felix to turn me up a 34mm stanchion for a 150 fork out of one of these trees. Before anyone tells me it wont work it will, I run stans for lower lube.

Green Cherry Ballart or Woolami pine?

 

[Scotty675]

One of each would be sweet.

I’ll do a couple, for good measure

Sapient pearwood, nothing less.

I framed my shed with that shit, DC. Keeps the wizards out.
