Walnut

You guys in the USA are lucky. Every time I use walnut ( I think this is the 3rd time) I fall in love with it more. It’s pricey in Australia though so I’ve only ever bought a small amount  

I’m making a few toy planes to give to friends and went for a walnut and a Victorian Ash plane. The Vic ash I’ve got is a common plantation hardwood here and is much lighter in colour than most I’ve seen. 

The walnut is amazing though. I can’t wait to get some finish on this

There are lots of woods and burrs I see Australian woodturners using that seem exotic to me.  Mallee, Huron Pine, Tasmanian Blackwood, Queensland Rosewood, Jacaranda, Ganabarri, and Macassar Ebony are examples from one wood turner's book.  All beautiful stuff with different virtues.
