I live in Nth East Victoria and at Mt Beauty there is a mill that cuts and dresses Mountain Ash E.regans. I bought a length quite inexpensively and built my very first solid body using parts including the neck from a donor SG type 1970s Japanese guitar. It was a lot of fun having a go at this project and I am currently in the process of re bodying a Squire bass with the same material. I opted for a simple oiled finish which added a little bit of yellow to the pink. There are a few of us wood bashers out there! Cheers, Geoffrey Hello there Jack!

Some remain within the National Parks but others come under the management of state forestry. However, many older trees are hollow and hence only useful as woodchip which limits commericial value. However, it exhibits quick regrowth and commericial plantations of younger trees, with their straight, solid trunks are proving profitable. P.s. please publish my details again although your site says that is won't - you mislead your viewers ....I wonder why? YOU ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO THE LOGGING OF THESE TREES
