It is fully workable but has natural characteristics that differ from freshly cut living timber. You may find: • Natural cracks, gum veins, or character marks • Internal tension or slight movement in the grain • Colour variations and prehistoric features • Slight bends or unique shapes These features are normal and are part of the wood’s prehistoric history and unique charm.
