For my birthday this year, Kristen bought me a mini wood lathe as I had out grown my previous $50 marketplace lathe and I wanted to try do more wood work. Since getting it, ive made a few different shifters from figured timbers and skateboard decks. Ive managed to make a friend locally who I buy my timber from, but im always happy to find others to see what they have, and to see their sheds haha. I found a seller not too far from me, so I left work early and set out to Panania.

Brendan’s shed was so cool, he was preparing a large slab to be used for a table top/

Two pieces I bought, Gidgee (left) Red Mallee (right)

I also scored a freebie from him, two pieces of red oak which was very nice of him. Glad I could make a new friend today and have another contact for rare timbers!
