Selection of Australian woods for trade/sale

[daveflutes]

I have a new set of Australian woods that I will have spare of. First dibs goes to @SA-Motors and @Big Ry for our current trades, but they're all fairly big pieces.

I'm hoping to trade for any woods I haven't got but I could also sell. Do consider that I'm in the UK when adding in shipping.



They are (row by row)
Yapunya | White hazel
King Billy pine | Ivory needlewood
Supplejack | Whitewood
Satin box | Mystery ironwood

I'll also have a big slab of gum Arabic next time I see my brother (about 84 x 21 x 6 cm).

These are the sizes (in mm) and *suggested* Latin names - this is only what I've looked up as the probable species, so correct me if I'm wrong. I was only given common names.

Ironwood	????	625 x 135 x 20
King William pine	Athrotaxis selaginoides	610 x 145 x 40
Native hazel/white hazelwood	Symplocos stawellii	610 x 105 x 45
Satinbox	Nematolepis squamea	640 x 120 x 30
Supplejack	Ventilago viminalis	485 x 145 x 25
Supplejack		635 x 145 x 25
Yapunyah	Eucalyptus ochrophloia	625 x 115 x 40
Yapunyah		335 x 120 x 40
Ivory needlewood	Hakea ivoryi	485 x 180 x 43
Whitewood	Atalaya hemiglauca	645 x 160 x 30

Let me know if you're interested in pieces or need more info. I'll be cutting them for flutes and at least for Steven, so if you just need a spindle or bowl blank that should be fine.

You could open up a seperate ID thread for the ironwood.

I'm definitely interested in the ironwood. I'm generally interested in any harder and/or heavier woods, so yes to Satinbox, Yapunyah, and Supplejack as well. I assume that Gum Arabic = Acacia Senegal? If so, yes to that as well.

Do you know the hardness of the needlewood and whitewood? I find some info saying Atalaya hemiglauca is quite dense. If this is accurate, its of interest to me for sure. I would take King Billy Pine for its relative obscurity, but its probably not of much use to me on projects. I almost bought some this spring from a UK dealer but decided against it due to price.

Regarding trades you need, I noticed you were trading with Fred for some species that I also have but that we somehow overlooked during our initial trade agreement. So I guess I need to look back at your wanted list. Is that up to date, or are there species that you want which are not on that list?

@Big Ry I don't have anything on the needlewood or whitewood, other than they're heavy! If you can wait for me to do the flutes I can tell you more...I can get rough densities.

I'm assuming the gum Arabic is Vachellia nilotica (was Acacia nilotica). It's a wide plank and dark red so that seems to match best.

I'll update my lists. For convenience I had a list of all the TWD poster woods I was missing, but I'd also take anything I haven't got. It will take a bit of sorting, so maybe the back end of the week.

@daniscool I'll get some decent photos of the ironwood, probably once I've got it machined
