Endemic only to Tassy and a wonderful medium for lure carving though more famous for its use in the wooden boat building industry  Big smile
Looks as if the specialty timbers are going to become even harder to source with the Tas goverment locking up the forest industry and potentially sending alot of specialty timber craftsman out of business .
Already the timber fetches $4500 a cubic metre and who knows where the price will peak Cry
Up for grabs are two 50mm naked KBP lures .
Great action for the trout or fantastic looking in the collection Wink
Dive 2-3' and weighing in at 3.0 grams .$20 each plus delivery .

This lure has been SOLD .

Just a shame it is getting harder to source ,luckily i have a little stockpile going on in the shed Geek

Nice one Paul !
Never knew it was a favoured guitar building material and had certain sound qualities .
And being a string plucker myself it is very interesting to know Thumbs Up
I'm tipping it would be one expensive sound board to build these days Shocked
