My dad lived in Perth, and used jarrah a lot. I watched him drill pilot holes for pins in a piece of quadrant made of jarrah. I reckon it's a lovely looking wood for one-off pieces like this, but a lot of it one place can be a bit reddy/ orange, and make you think you're back in the 1950s.

I think that most of the jarrah was from the south west of WA, but it is now protected, as I understand it. When they stopped cutting jarrah, lots of people swapped over to karri, and then that got protected too (again...these are just childhood memories, so could be wrong).
 
Simply lovely piece of furniture that’s been beautifully made. Well done.
 
A little late to comment on this, however i did want to say - Amazing work. Well done, and more importantly thank you! At the end of a long day in the shop, you still took the time to document it so the rest of us mere mortals could enjoy your work.

Thank You
