Another Aussie!

[MalleeBurls]

Hi guys from Swan Hill, Australia!

I'm new here, joined up mainly to learn about casting and stabilizing blanks. I love turning, but haven't done many pens at all, mostly bowls and hollow forms.

My username relates to a new online business my brother and I are going to launch soon. I am blessed with access to properties in the Victorian Mallee. We have a large amount of Australian Burls and some slabs drying.....mostly River Red Gum, Black Box, Red Mallee and Brown Mallee burls, as well as basic cuts of these plus Coobah, Silver Wattle, Blackwood and Melalueca.

Thanks for having me!
Mick.

Welcome!

I used to be able to pick up mallee burl pieces regularly when I lived in Japan. Looking forward to seeing some of your work and maybe some of the wood that you harvest.
