Penpal
Grand Master
An exercise in fulfillment for me one of my early loves this timber. In the burl form it is getting rare. Since the tree grows but mm,s a year the pieces came from a weather downed tree of great height the 2000 yrs may be conservative.
Huon pine has an indefinable perfume created by the tree to repel insects successfully. A friend sold 4 tons of it he bought for furniture use thirty five years ago in plain grain because the smell was overpowering in his workshop.
I think I have a new source to be confirmed in a couple of weeks .
A native tree only grows in Tasmania south of the mainland in rain forest. Travelling through this country is eerie and majestic, such a history involved. No bark inclusions were cut out during the turning of the top
