Here are some small Banksia logs I milled up today on my small milling rig.
These will be used mainly for small craft type goods like boxes, although one of my mates wants a piece for carving
This is the finish I get with Lopro on a 25" bar on the 441.
Last time I used some Banksia was on my FILs ashes casket back in 2008
The casket wood is mainly Western Australian Sheoak - only the vertical chequerboard strip was Banksia - it was a piece I found in FILs shop.
Banksia was named after Sir Joseph Banks the botanist that was part of Captian Cook's famous discovery trip in 1770 of Australia's easter Coast.
Family Proteaceae, subfamily Grevilleoideae, and tribe Banksieae.
It produces these amazing woody seed pods like this.
They can be turned into all sorts of wired things.
