Trip to Carins

[Kwajalein]

For the folks down under! I will be in Queensland for a couple of weeks in July. Anything I should look for in the area of wood or wood turning. After the trip I will be returning to the Marshall Islands so I should be able to bring small amounts of wood back with me.

First thing I thought of was Opals.
Oh that ain't wood---hehehehe
Have a great trip

Check with youngturner (Mark Glowacki)...he might be able to help you out. He has good stuff [][^]

I think we have a couple members thereabouts. Hopefully someone can give you more specific recommendations, but I'd look for things like eucalyptus (curly is beautiful!), she-oak, and malee (try the burl if you can get some).

Go see Gareth Lazarides at Lazarides Timber Agencies in Brisbane. He has lots of turning blanks and tools for great prices. He's in the phone book, and his place is easy to find. Tell him I said howdy.
