I have a set of 16 Australian woods in spindle/pen size. They are each 1 x 1 x 12" or slightly over.

More photos and info available on request, including photos of finished flutes in each of these.

A few oddities/rarities here so I'm asking US$240 for the lot, including shipping to the US. Can work out the equivalent for any other country.

Added a couple more pieces, greenheart and mimosa/mimbo burl. The mimosa is slightly thinner, 7/8 x 3/4". Same price

Hi Fred, I got these cut to size so these are all I have. I got them from Mooloo Timber. They were really helpful so drop them a line.

I've seen white cedar as chinaberry recently somewhere... I'll post it I can find it again

@daveflutes thank you, they were on my contact evently list for the gympi messmate. I didn’t know they had the others. I finally had time to read through your list. You have a few more that interest me. Also I think I found 2 potentially incorrect botanical names for some Australian Timbers. I want to do a bit of reading first to confirm.
