Sandalwood

[PenPal]

This Australian Bush Tree is the basis of a unique native tree crop grown for its high value
arromatic heartwood. Dubbed wooden gold (10,000 dollars a tonne for best quality material)
supplies half of the worlds demand. The oil is also a far more effective antiseptic agent than Tea Tree or Eucalypt Oil.

Hi Peter,

Those are rare woods to see on pens around were, obviously...!:redface:

I wonder, do you have any of that wood spare, the same goes for gidgee and other timbers that once upon a time I could have had as much as I wanted from properties where I working at in the QLD Outback. Now I would like to have some and I don't seem to find anyone that has some of it for a swap with any of the woods I have...!

Let me know what you can do on the subject, please. Thank you!

Cheers
George

Very beautiful! A friend of mine was telling me about sandalwood. Apparently it is held in very high regard in India.
