Just thought I'd ask the question.
I had to drop a tree a day or so ago, found that it looked interesting from the end grain so cut a few 1.5 meter slabs. It's really beautiful and hard as rock so I think it would make a few decent guitar necks. Basically just want the thoughts of those of you who have experience in using fresh cut timber that you've dried/seasoned yourselves with some succes. They are quite thick, at least a couple inches, and in Australia this is called ironbark I think, I do know it's a species of wattle....if that makes any difference. Thanks plenty for any help here.
