Hi all,
I have recently moved to a 1 hectare wooded block 20km south of Port Macquarie (in a beautiful place called Bonny Hills) and have just got a local arborist around to identify the trees. I know they are native (mostly because they are across the road in the nature reserve) and I am looking at doing some turning on them. I have seen some references in posts (but not many) so am wondering what other peoples experience has been with
- bloodwood (I know it burns very hot so will be careful on the wood heater in winter)
- ironbark - I understand it is very hard so takes a toll on the tools but what does it look like turned? Also, if I do as much as I can while green will this help?
- tallowood - I know this is primarily used in joinery, but what about turning it?
- red mahogany (or mahoganies in general)
- forest oak - I have had conflicting views on this one
- turpentine
- cheese tree (Glochidion ferdinandi) - I had never even heard of this one!
cheers
Mick
