I'll take either one...free shipping to the States, right? )
I'd like to see a video of the harvesting of these monsters!

I think hes looking at around $5000USD plus shipping

If he tosses in a Stubby 750 and that broken trailer, he has a deal! I'd even give him some shrimps on the barbie when he got here!

Red gum burl

I am interested in buying it for my personal use! I would need to talk directly to the owner. I would like to see the figure up close to see if it is a eye burl or a carbuncle burl AKA swirl figure.

Reminds me of the sign in the window of a diner up in Anchorage when I was stationed there many years ago. "Pie, $2.00 - Texas size $1.25 "

Looks like a carbuncle with as much detail as is available.

One can only imagine that puppy mounted on a lathe, spinning at 500rpm I bet a Stubby could handle it!

Hmm, well being a local it would seem obvious for me to volunteer to mount that lump on my Stubby.

But even a 110 cm swing mightn't be enough
