We’ve just got a new batch of recycled hardwood for our coat rack back-boards. It’s really clear Vic Ash, ex building timbers, a few nail holes and sap veins but very nice & mostly quarter sawn. It’s been beautifully machined straight and smooth here in Castlemaine and, given their age and close grain, these timbers might have come from local forests like the Wombat State Forest. So it’s great that they get another go and this kind of fine grain old growth timber needs to be cherished. If you’ve ever stood under a massive old Vic Ash you’ll understand why we do what we can to leave them in peace.
