This is my first ever post so I hope I am in the right place :)
i am a preschool teacher with a passion for providing children with authentic natural resources. I recently invested in some tools to make my own branch cookies for the children. I began with collecting aged and hardened gum which cut beautifully. I have recently however come across an abundance of recently felled gum branches ( result of storms ) that are still quite moist but not freshly green. I have begun cutting the branch ...the diameter is about 5 cm and I cut them in slices in approx 2cm think. They are literally the size of cookies. I have been putting them in my fan forced kitchen oven on 150C Degrees for an hour and they seem to dry without cracking or burning.
Can anyone suggest any other type of tree in South East qld that would also be good for branch cookies....any better drying tips for the home oven.....open to any help or suggestions :)
TIA
