Hi Everyone
Can some one tell me if the garden stakes at Bunnings are still Indonesian Mahogany and suitable for making lures ?

Yep thanks Blinky 
I have purchased a long time ago but cant remember if it was a particular brand or they were all the same material. There is about 5 different brands of garden stakes at Bunnings that I can see.

If you can get hold of them, the old style coat hangers made from White Beech are good as well.

Hi Mike, I`ve used a few packs of these in the past 19x19x1200 & found them to be pretty good. The brand from Bunnings "Gardman" was best. Good Luck. Cheers Richard.

I've used them also and found the quality has deteriorated lately and you have to search through the bundles to get some good lengths! The timber seems to different types and a lot are full of borers! The last lot I got were 24x24x900 and seemed OK.
