I’m going to be there in May and would like to buy some unusual veneers.

Any input is welcome.

But thanks for the videos and post, Chris. It’s always good to see that people are the same all over the world. Without hearing them speak, I could swear these guys were from the USA…or Europe…or Wherever.

Apart from the slightly girly by comparison Sheoak.

They only have woosie wood, such as Kaurie Pine, which is as soft as. You’ll need to come to Perth … :)

Hope you are having fun and dodging the local reptiles, arthropods, and alcoholic beverages.

Regards from Perth
