WHO USES MAHOGANY FENCE POSTS :sob::sob:
Click to expand...

An Australia native timber called Mahogany by all the old time locals near the coast in NSW. Twenty no more really years ago my Dad and Mum moved to the Sth Coast of NSW a friend of my Dads had a dairy farm and lifted a line of fencing in the ground for plus 80 yrs. We only had a small car at the time on a visit to parents the boot was full quite a hairy trip up the mountains to home. Determination defies defeat it is a solid and lovely timber.THere was a pro turner with a studio down there and he really coveted getting onto this timber.
