[QUOTE="Ironwood, post: 353680, member: 10447"] Some time back, on a different forum, I mentioned I had some of this timber from a tree that came done in Cyclone Yasi. It is Red Beech, quite a rare timber because it only grows in a small coastal area. Another member expressed interest for some of the timber to make a cutting gauge, I struck a deal for a cutting gauge in return for some of the timber. I received this beautiful example in the mail the other day, it really is a pleasure to hold and look at. I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but thought I should photograph it while it still looks pristine ( not that I will be knocking it around :rolleyes: ) Just for an idea of size, it is about 6-7 inches long ( 150-175mm ) [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]111901._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]111903._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]111904._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]111905._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
