An eclectic mix of Milling in Perth

dimanche 1 juin 2014

Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen



These pictures are posted on behalf of a friend, Derek Doak, who suffered an horrific accident as a teenager and lost all his fingers in a tragic railway accident. He was a promising pianist with the Perth Philharmonic Orchestra as a child prodigy and this accident ended a promising career as an international musician. :wink:



Nah, not really, he was born with 11 thumbs and has difficulty typing.



Anyhoo



Please enclosed some pictures of some stunning milling he has done quite recently



Jam. So called because when cut, it exudes a wonderful fragrance similar to the smell of fresh cooked raspberry jam. An awesome timber to work with from the fringes of the WA goldfiields. It has a real sheen to it straight from the chisels and gets better as the finer grades of sandpaper are applied. Very hard and dense.



Some Banksia, which is quite large, but I cannot remember the dimensions



3 pictures of WA Marri. These slabs had a fork, or crutch that went the length of the slab.



The last two slabs are River Red Gum. They look stunning with a ton of Curl or quilting.



Cheers

Willy
