I'd agree with your mate, and say you really want 2 foot sticks - but I will take what I can get particularly of the prettier native woods - I found a fallen bulloke which is probably only about 8 inches on a friend's property.

Red, grey or yellow box is an incredibly hard wood with a density of something like 1197kg/m3.<br />You also previously mentioned milling your own timber - a mate of mine has a Lucas mill and says anything und 8” diameter is not really worth your time to do.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05120841212705586854noreply@blogger.com
