The article runs to an A4 foolscap.

Can't you link to the URL?

then copy the first paragraph so those that are interested in reading further can choose to look at the link and those that don't won't waste their time.

Surely it's not that difficult to work out? Cheesy

Herb, what were you searching for when you found the link ???????

I was looking up about the 'very thick forests' in southern WA which were cleared for farming back in around 1927 near Walpole - and which a descendant of the original farming community now says the clearing of the forest was a tragic mistake.

I was immediately reminded of the magnificent Huon forests of southwest Tasmania which thank god have since been saved from any more timber-mill destruction.

You have some beautiful timbers in this country. I have a Grevillia Robusta in my own backyard that is famous for being fine-grained and excellent for cabinet-making.

I also have the privilege of owning a home in which the timbers are made from hard wood the likes of which no houses today are being framed with - and all that's being used today is crappy, cheap garbage like Oregon wood.

I've had a rose wood table - fabulous. My neighbour had furniture made entirely out of Dutch Oak.

Teak ... Mahogany ... Huon ... etc etc ... beautiful to look at and beautiful to touch.

I haven't seen a piece of Mulga wood for years now ...

Some woods smell beautiful.

I also have a giant Camphor tree in my backyard (Cinnamomum camphora) .. which if you cut a branch off and smell the sappy end - it has a beautiful smell of camphor.

They make 'marbles' out of this camphor wood for putting in wardrobes to lightly fragrance the clothes in there.

Don't get me started on Ikea furniture -- crap wood in my opinion.

There are people who do really beautiful and clever things with nothing more than drift-wood that washes up on the shores.
