Australian Tiger wood

[Sigidi]

Hey, does anyone on the forum know anything about Australian Tiger wood?

Chucked some through the thicknesser today - it looks pretty!!

[Ivor]

No I don't know anything but are you willing to part with some of your hoard?

[mongrell]

fiddleback of some sort sigidi what species and where from ?

[corbs]

Looks nice... did a google search for my own interest and found a lot of hits on Tiger Woods:doh:. Tigerwood only gave one hit before going back to Tiger Woods. Looks like it could be one of the Casuarina's (or Banksia/Hakea...)

[weisyboy]

what dose the tree look like?

[Sigidi]

Don't have much more, other than the pics...

Looks to me like a casuarina, but that's just a guess. Is it extremely hard? Splintery?

[Sigidi]

Cut pretty easy and planed easy, weighed a few sticks and it's around 25-27kg for a 3.0 100x75. Ran the router over them to aris the corners and no splintering issues??

Anyone else got some info?

[Grumpy John]

Is there a joke here somewhere, because I'm not getting it :?

[Sigidi]

Grumpy, I was hoping this would last a bit longer, but I suppose all things have to come to an end...

Mongrell was spot on, it's not tigerwood, I made the name up after seeing how pretty it looked, it's just Tallowwood with fiddleback admittedly really nice fiddleback. Really makes dressing the posts worthwhile

[JackoH]

What was the point of all that? Should have gone to the drivel area if you ask me!
