>I'm leaving tomorrow on a business trip to Thailand and Australia. I don't have much time in each country (a few hours in each country for shopping & siteseeing) - is there any wood I could buy for turning? I think especially Australia offers a great variety.

thanks,

>Probably too late, but while in Thailand if you come across something called Afzelia Lay or Afzelia Xylay, grab it! The really nice stuff has a pronounced crocodile pattern to it. Have fun!
