Very interesting. . .looking good!
Savour every step for an infinitely delicious result. By the way a neighbour told me that the spotted gum, that grows so well here, is good for boat building because, as well as being an attractive hardwood, bends well when steamed. I have bought some to make a huge trunk to replace the pantry I don’t have in this house–it will fit nicely under the stairwell to store bulk rice, dhal, and oats etc.
Greetings Richard. Well, I am at least travelling hopefully, and enjoy focusing on the details…
Yes, Spotted Gum is an excellent wood for boat building: tough, resilient and flexible. It is also used for tool handles etc.
Good luck with that large (and probably heavy) spotted gum trunk; I hope you can get in additional help to put it under the stairwell!
