When I was a kid nearly all ash trays, ornaments, trays etc in wood were made from Mulga, these days not seen so often. A strong heavy deep timber.

Kind regards Peter.

Also Mulga to compare with the previous one

Like every timber each piece is different.

Kind regards Peter.

You have made a good job of them I know just how hard or should I say brittle Mulga is no wonder the Aborigines made there shields with it I gave some to a friend an experienced turner and the first bit he tried he broke it trying to drill it out so well done
